{{out of date|update if needed for current gramps 3.3 and images}} How to add a table of contents or an index to a Gramps generated report in [http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/ LibreOffice] or [http://www.openoffice.org OpenOffice]. ==Getting started==[[Image:Toc tutorial 1.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Fig. 1 Creating a Book Report]][[CategoryImage:TutorialsToc tutorial 2.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Fig. 2 Book Report]]
The first step is to create a report. This example creates a book report to demonstrate that multiple reports can be combined.
From the menu select {{man menu|Reports->Books->Book Report}}.
This opens the book report dialog. It has two lists. The top list shows all the available reports that can be added to the book. The bottom list shows all the reports that have been added.
==Insert a Table of Contents==

Many people like the Table of Contents to appear after the Title Page. To do so, first insert a page break after the text of the Title Page. From the {{man button|file}} menu, select {{man button|Insert->Manual Break ...'}}. Choose {{man button|Page Break}} and click {{man button|OK}}[[Image:Toc tutorial 4.jpg|thumb|right|250px]]

Scroll to the newly inserted page and add the Table of Contents by selecting {{man menu|Insert->Indexes and Tables->Indexes and Tables ...}}.
In the {{man label|Indexes and Tables}} dialog, change the type to {{man label|Table of Contents}}. Also, be sure that the {{man label|Outline}} check box is unchecked and the {{man label|Index Marks}} check box is checked. This tells Open Office to create the TOC from the marks that were embedded by Gramps.
After you click {{man button|OK}}, the Table of Contents should appear.
==Insert an Index==

Most people like the index to be at the end of the book. To do so, place the cursor at the very end of the book, and insert a page break like you did for the TOC.
Next, open the ''{{man label|Indexes and Tables'' }} dialog like you did for the TOC. This time, change the type to ''{{man label|Alphabetical Index''}}.
