1. Introduction
This document demonstrates how to create a structured report using headings, images, and tables. It also explains how to automatically generate a Table of Contents and lists of figures or tables.
Well-structured documents improve readability and allow automatic navigation.
2. Using Headings
Headings are essential for creating structure.
2.1 Heading Levels
Use built-in styles:
- Heading 1 → Main sections
- Heading 2 → Subsections
- Heading 3 → Details
2.2 Why Styles Matter
Automatic tools (like Table of Contents) rely on heading styles—not manual formatting.
3. Sample Image Section
3.1 Adding Images
Insert an image:
- Word: Insert → Pictures
- LibreOffice: Insert → Image
3.2 Adding Captions
Right-click image → Add Caption
Example:
Figure 1: Example workspace
Captions are required for generating a List of Figures.
4. Sample Table Section
| Item | Quantity | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Notebook | 2 | 10 |
| Pen | 5 | 5 |
| Backpack | 1 | 50 |
