Created attachment 64185 [details] Screenshot showing the Insert menu Problem description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a blank document with some headlines and text 2. Follow the instructions to create a table of contents in a document: http://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Creating_a_Table_of_Contents it says "Choose Insert - Indexes and Tables - Indexes and Tables". Current behavior: There is no menu entry called "Indexes and Tables" in the insert menu. Expected behavior: An entry in the Insert menu that allows me to add a TOC as per the help text.

Hm, something special with Mac? There are also other menu entries missing. Some functions are started in a different way on Mac. I will check later.
(In reply to comment #1) > Hm, something special with Mac? There are also other menu entries missing. Some > functions are started in a different way on Mac. I will check later. On a swedish OSX 10.7.4 but running the vanilla english Libreoffice (Build ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21) if that may be of importance. Pretty sure the menu entry was there in 3.4.
Comparing reporter's screenshot with Menu in "LibreOffice 3.5.5.3 English UI/ German Locale [Build-ID: 27122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21] on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) I see a lot of missing Menu Items, I doubt that that is MAC-intended. @Peter Krantz: - Does the problem persist when you renamed you User profile before you Launch LibO? <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#User_profile_location> - Can you add missing menu Items in menu 'Tools - Customize -> Menus'? - From what version did you update - 3.4 to 3.5.5.3? - Really only Insert menu affected?

I will take a look into it (have different LibreOffice installed on MacOS X) ...
Created attachment 64192 [details] Writer "Insert" menu in LibO 3.5.5.3, EN, on MacOS X 10.6.8 Well, at least I can say that this is definitely nothing special with MacOS. The attached screenshot, made on MacOS X 10.6.8 (Intel) German UI, shows Writer's "Insert" menu from the same LibreOffice version as Peter Krantz' one (LibreOffice 3.5.5.3, Build-ID: 7122e39-92ed229-498d286-15e43b4-d70da21), but all menu items are there. So I see three possibilities: (1) A special problem with MacOS X 10.7.4 (I don't hope that this is the reason; we have other issues special to MacOS X 10.7, but I have never heard of missing menu items; of course some other user with MacOS X 10.7 should check this possibility, I just can't upgrade to 10.7.x!). (2) Some local corruption, probably of the User profile. @Peter Krantz: So please follow Bielefeld's suggestions and questions in comment #3, they will either solve the problem for you or at least give us important hints about the root of the problem. Thank you!
I believe I have found the problem. Apparently if you have an ODT document which was based on a web document open and click new you get a new blank web document. It is hard to see which type of document writer is working. Web documents are treated differently than regular documents (loads of stuff missing in the menus). This bug can be closed I guess (although there probably should be a UI bug reported for the difficulty in understanding which mode a document may be in.
(In reply to comment #7) > This bug can be closed I guess OK; so I close it. Thank you very much! > (although there probably should be a UI bug > reported for the difficulty in understanding which mode a document may be in. A good idea; this would be an enhancement request, of course. Could you please file a new, special bug report for that? This would be very welcome! So thank you very much in advance!
