	It seems to me that solution 2) is good, giving the user the ability to 
choice, or maybe just in the special case of preface and introduction do a 
search for this in the text property of the styles (if i understand well) but 
that would have to be a search on text like i18n("Preface") to cover all, i 
guess this is not very neat, so i stay with solution 2 :)

	for now im good with the bugfix, i think i will not generate the TOC in some 
time so you guys have time to think about it :P, i will be risking using 
always the latest kword just remind me of making backups of my .kwd files 
just in case :).

	Another little feature request: Would it be too dificult to add also an 
"Index generation" option :) ??

	Great job in kword, kformula and all KOffice apps thanks all !!!!

	Greetings....
