Thank you very much Vincent.
I have checked the documentation of the confproc package and found the
section about titletoc with the 2 possible options (right numbering and left
numbering). It is really effective: it just needs a few lines of code and it
works perfectly. Found it even more clear than the documentation of
titletoc.
Best wishes
Pierfranco
