Description Marek Laane 2012-03-20 10:24:50 UTC
When creating alphabetical index, there may be needed to have some entries in italics (e.g. foreign words). MS Word allows it (and to have bold, too, if needed) in entry dialog, Libreoffice so far doesn't...

This is a feature/enhancement request, therefore changed 'Importance' field to 'enhancement'.

@ Marek Laane

Thanks for new idea

> MS Word allows it (and to have bold, too, if needed)
Please, attach screenshot of this dialog in Word

Please, attach also Word document with such alphabetical index for using as example and for testing

Well, as I have very rare Word user I probably erred in saying there is such direct option. But as explained in http://www.word-2010.com/insert-an-index-in-microsoft-word-2010/ (second image) there still is a possibility to have entry text in bold, italics or essentially in any way font dialog just allows. AFAIK LO doesnät allow it so far. But it would be quite useful if you have in index e.g. foreign words or something else what should have different appearance.

Thanks for link with screenshots. Changing status to New

PS: It would be useful to determine, in which version of Word such functionality appears: 2003, 2007 or 2010.

This is likely a duplicate of bug 30732, as alphabetic indexes are one type of index covered by the indicated report.
