Agree. NAB.

> You enter (type) just anything between the elements there in entries.
Thanks!!  (not mentioned in help page, not obvious (to me) from UI, never
considered it as a possibility).

@Heiko -- (a) tooltips could help on the "Entries" tab.

          (b) may be worth considering if design on tab can be improved.

I was using the "telesto-method" (trying to understand the UI from its
affordances).  Not so easy.  

Now that my misunderstanding/ignorance is corrected, the "Structure" gives much
flexibility in designing the appearance of a TOC -- but (for me) the UI does
not "invite" or "signal" that possibility.   

One additional idea for signalling the possibilities.

Make some "predefined" TOC structures (e.g., with, w/o dots), offered (as radio
buttons) along with a "user-defined" button (and Load/Save?).
(the default as current setting).

Then a user could "see" some different designs (by choosing the radio buttons),
which might help to understand better how to "edit" the structure field.

(no reply/response needed for additional idea - just a quick sketch).
