Operation Manual

Changing document views
Writer has several ways to view a document: Print Layout, Web Layout, and Full Screen. To access
these and other choices, go to the View menu and click on the required view. (When in Full Screen
view, press the Esc key to return to either Print or Web Layout view.)
Print Layout is the default view in Writer. In this view, you can use the Zoom slider and the View
Layout icons on the Status Bar to change the magnification.
You can also choose View > Zoom > Zoom from the menu bar to display the Zoom & View Layout
dialog, where you can set the same options as on the Status Bar. In Web Layout view, most of the
choices are not available.

Moving quickly through a document
In addition to the navigation features of the Status Bar (described above), you can use the
Navigator window and the Navigation toolbar, either from the Standard toolbar or from the Sidebar,
as described in Chapter 1, Introducing LibreOffice.
The Navigation toolbar (Figure 65) shows buttons for all the object types shown in the Navigator,
plus some extras (for example, the Find command).

Click a button to select that object type. Now all the Previous and Next button presses (in the
Navigator itself, in the Navigation Toolbar, and on the scroll bar) will jump to the next object of the
selected type. This is particularly helpful for finding items like index entries, which can be difficult to
see in the text. The names of the buttons (shown in the tooltips) change to match the selected
category; for example, Next Graphic, Next Bookmark, or Continue search forward.
For more uses of the Navigator in Writer, see the Writer Guide.
