    How do I add an Appendix Table in addition to main Table of Contents?

    Given Problem

    In a quite long document, you may prefer to not include the list of Appendices in the main Table of Contents. This list should be given at the beginning of Appendix in a different Table of Contents.

    This may be achieved in two steps:

    • number each appendix so that LibreOffice could automatically identify what should be listed in Appendix Table
    • create Appendix Table

    Number each Appendix

    Appendices are often illustrations or tables. An easy way to number them is to insert a caption.

    • right click on object (illustration, table...)
    • select Insert ▸ Caption
    • modify Category a with a specific name such as Appendix instead of Illustration
    • type Appendix title in Caption
    • modify Position to Above to get the title at beginning of the appendix
    • choose Numbering type and Separator
    • OK

    Note: all these choices are only made for the first Appendix. For next ones, all options will be pre-filled.

    Insert Appendix Table

    The title Appendices will probably be as Title1.

    • insert cursor after title Appendices
    • select menu Insert ▸ Table of Contents and Index ▸ Table of Contents, Index or Bibliography
    • change Type to Illustration Index
    • change Title to Appendices Index
    • change Category to Appendix (or the specific name you used)
    • OK

    As any other classical Table of Contents, you may customize its aspect through all options. Check other entries of FAQ about this subject.
