The Navigator is another important feature of OpenOffice.org that, along with the Stylist, that helps manage formatted documents.

Activate the Navigator by clicking the corresponding item in the Edit menu. In particular, the Navigator helps you navigate, or move accurately, to the parts of your document you are looking for and provides detailed information about the content of the document in an understandable manner.

In text documents, the Navigator provides you with complete lists of all heading, graphics, tables et cetera in your document. Simple navigation, such as going straight to a specific place in your document, only requires that you double-click the desired entry in the Header list. Besides simple navigation, the Navigator can do much more in assisting you to manage your documents. For example, you have structured built the structure of you document using headings, through the Navigator, you can change the sequence and hierarchical levels of whole chapters and sub-chapters quite easily by clicking the appropriate icons in the Navigator.

You can dock the Navigator to the edge of a window by dragging its title bar while pressing the Ctrl key. You can dock and undock the window by pressing Ctrl and double-clicking in a vacant area of the Navigator.

Jumping From One Object to Another in Text

Clicking the Navigation icon at the top of the Navigator opens a “mini navigator”. Navigatoion

This Navigation panel has functions to allow movement in your document from, say, one graphic object to the next one or to the previous one. To enable this feature, first grab the the blue title bar of the navigation floating toolbar and drag it to a position outside of the

Navigator. Now the arrow icons will be visible at the right side. Just click the ”Graphics” icon and then either the Previous graphic or Next graphic arrows. This also works for tables, frames, sections, and so on. A plus sign in front of one of the entries indicates that there are corresponding objects in the selected document and that you can have the list of the objects of this type shown by clicking the plus sign or double-clicking the entry. Double- click one of the object names to display it in the document and move the cursor to that position.

Another way to access the “mini navigator” can be found in the vertical scroll bar at the bottom right-hand side of the document window. As when accessing

Navigation from the Navigator, click the object type you want to jump to, and

then click one of the arrow icons to go to the previous or next object of this type in your document.

When the Navigator arrows in the scroll bar appear black, you can scroll through the pages of your document. Likewise, if the arrows appear blue, you can search to each object of the same category you have selected in the Navigator (e.g. to each table or bookmark, and so on). Similarly to the main section of the Navigator, there are icons for Headings, OLE objects, Hyperlinks, References, et cetera.

Names of any of the elements in the Navigator can be easily modified: The context menu for that name (right-click the name) provides the command for renaming.

Jumping From One Reminder to Another

Use the Navigator to set temporary reminders that stay in effect until you close the

document. This is handy if you want to look up or add something later as it makes it easy to move between particular locations in the document. For example:

1. Position the cursor where you want to set a reminder.

2. Click the Set Reminder icon in the Navigator. The reminder will not be visible in the document.

3. When you want to jump to a reminder, select the Reminder entry in the “mini Navigator” and you can now move through the reminders by clicking the Previous and Next arrows.

Jumping to a Specific Page

Moving quickly to particular pages in long documents is easy even if you have not yet opened or docked the Navigator. Double-click the current page number on the status bar, and the Navigator opens. Double-clicking the display field on the status bar closes the Navigator. However, if the Navigator is docked, these actions close and dock window.

Enter the number of the page you want to go into the spin button at the top of the Navigator panel. Once you have select of entered the page number, press Return and the cursor is automatically placed on that page.

A keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+F5, opens the Navigator when it is inactive and moves the cursor to the spin box where you directly enter the desired page number. In the case where the Navigator is docked, this key sequence simply places the cursor in the spin box. Now press the Enter key to go directly to the chosen page.

Note:You do not have to change to the new page with the cursor. Enter a page number in the Navigator spin box and wait one or two seconds. The respective page will appear. If you enter another number, that page will appear. The cursor is placed on the page only when you press the Enter key.

Other Navigator Features

When you want to know about the objects in a document, the Navigator can be very helpful, particularly in longer documents,. For example, if you have an HTML page open, the

Navigator tells you at a glance which hyperlinks the page contains including any hidden hyperlinks but these will be without reference text.

Use the Content View of the Navigator to help organize and rearrange whole chapters with their sub-chapters, so long as these have been formatted with one of the chapter numbering Styles. For detailed instructions, refer to the OpenOffice.org Help.
