Screenshot of part of an alphabetical index

Version: 7.1.3.2 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 47f78053abe362b9384784d31a6e56f8511eb1c1
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

Calc: threaded

The attached screenshot shows part of the alphabetical index of a book.

Note that "Socialism" is the Level 1 entry. In this case it has NO numbered
entries: these are not required as the latter are associated with the sublevels
instead (a fairly common occurrence in book indexes).

However, there is a problem if the user specifies a character fill (such as
full stops / periods) in the TAB area before the page number. The user only
needs the fill characters to be displayed if there are page numbers following;
if there are NO page numbers following (as in the attached example,
"Socialism") then the fill character area should be left blank.

SUGGESTION: If an alphabetical index entry has no page numbers associated with
it, any TAB fill characters should be ommitted.
