Hi Drew,

Thanks for your support. 

After a long time of trying and searching I successfully could implement your
workaround, thanks. 

I needed to read the locally installed online help for LO Writer to find out
which exact icon I have to click in menu View => Styles in order to create a
new, custom page style (I did not notice the horizontal icon line at the top of
the "Styles and Formatting" window, instead I used the vertical icon line in
this window, which did not let me implement your workaround). 

Before I could apply this new, custom page style (I called it "Index_2") as the
next page style for the "Index" style I had to deactivate the write-protection
for the TOC in my document. Having defined the new, custom page style (with the
"Default" page style as the next page style, and page numbers deactivated) as
the next page style for the page style "Index" I had to activate the
write-protection for the index in my document again.

This workaround is much too complicated, although it works. I guess the LO
developers have a different opinion on this, but one cannot expext that every
LO user is a power user. An unexperienced and also a normal user would not be
able to implement this workaround without spending a lot of his or her time and
with the possibility that he or she will give up because he or she fails to
find out an implement this workaround. 

And if he or she did not fail, i.e. he or she successfully implemented this
workaorund, will he or she remember this workaround the next time he or she
gets confronted again with the issue that is subject of this bug report?

Due to this it is my opinion that it would be better if the page style "index"
would get definied by default within LO writer for an endless amount of pages
which contain an index.

Regards,

Jens
