    Greetings!
    
    In applying the resolution to this issue:
    
    http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-805
    
    Which now reads in part:
    
    > |chapter|: the index is constructed for the chapter that contains the 
    > index. A chapter consists of all those paragraphs and headings which 
    > have the same immediately preceding heading with outline level |1|.
    >
    Does that imply that I cannot have a TOC for a sub-chapter?
    
    Or rather, that a TOC always starts at heading 1?
    
    I "tested" (if you can say "testing" includes using one application) 
    this with OpenOffice 3.0.1 and a third level sub-heading where I 
    inserted a TOC following the heading, displayed the *preceding* headings 
    above the sub-chapter, not what I wanted. I looked but didn't see any 
    setting that would alter that behavior. I assume it would have to be a 
    setting that changed the start value for an index much in the same way 
    we can set the ending value for inclusion in an index.
    
    It just struck me as I was reading Michael's suggested fix (which I 
    think works quite well) that there is an implied limitation that isn't 
    necessarily obvious.
    
    Hope everyone is having a great day!
