Writer, Table of Contents, Multiple Columns
In LibreOffice 26.2, it is possible to format your Table of Contents (TOC) into multiple columns. This is a great way to save space, especially if your document has many short headings.Because a TOC is a protected section by default, you don't format it the same way you would regular text. Here is how to set it up: Method 1 : During Initial Creation If you haven't created your TOC yet, follow these steps: Go to Insert > Table of Contents and Index > Table of Contents, Index or Bibliography. In the dialog box that appears, click on the Columns tab. Select the number of columns you want (e.g., 2 or 3).
