I have never used Document Map before which makes the creation of a TOC much easier - once I eventually understood what a TOC does! I wish I had used Document Map for editing the 26 chapters - great tip. I had got to mastering Styles for book title, chapter heads and paragraph indents etc and created my own - but have had to rename them Heading 1, Heading 2 etc to now use Document Map and the TOC creation tool. Part 2 of my trilogy should be a lot easier now.

Hope it works for you. I now use an app called TextExpander, which does a similar thing but system-wide. It's great, although Mac-only. Welcome! Hope it works for you.

I think this is what I've been looking for I'm just going to try it out but thought I'd put my comments in first so I don't forget ( Its an age thing) Thanks again Iain, just found your site.

I just love it when I learn something new and helpful.  Thanks.  My stumbling upon your article has saved me and my editor lots of time.

I am having a friend guide me through the writing/publishing process; she said Document Map was step #1. I subscribed to your feed. Thanks again, Paris Romero Lain,

It would be really useful. Thanks. Iaian, do you know if there is a NeoOffice equivalent to Document Map? It would be really useful.
