Description Winfried Donkers 2012-01-04 03:00:24 UTC 
Presently, a TOC is not updated automaticaly and must be updated manually.

It would be very usefull if an TOC-update is executed or suggested before printing/saving.

Possibly related to bug 34121 ?

The problem is more difficult to live with if your document contains hidden paragraphs that are hidden from PDF or printed outputs.

I have this writer document template which contains conditionally hidden paragraphs which are hidden from PDF and printed outputs. 

Suppose I have a heading in page 4 and page 3 is full of hidden paragraphs (hidden from print / pdf only). This heading will be included in the TOC and page number would read 4. Now I enter a cross-reference to the page number of this heading anywhere within the document. This also would read 4 (for now). Then when I print this document the TOC would say that the heading is still in page 4 and the cross-reference would say its in 3 which is correct by the way.

The only work around I have is to instruct my users to disable display of hidden paragraphs, update TOC and then print.

Good idea :-)
Looks as an easy hack?
Comment 4 Winfried Donkers 2013-05-03 11:58:51 UTC 
To my surprise :-) this is fixed in version 4.0.3, so I close this enhancement request.

You mean that the TOC is updated when when you hit Ctrl-P ?
Not for me, here on Ubuntu ..

You're right. I only checked with saving...
I changed the title to reflect the current situation.
Thank you for checking properly.
