Using the Navigator
The Navigator is a very useful tool that helps you move quickly to
specific parts of your document. It also provides information about the
content of the document and enables you to reorganize some of the
content. For example, if each chapter in your final book is a separate
document, then in the master document they can be reordered, and
the references are renumbered automatically and the table of contents
and index can be updated.
In Writer, the Navigator has two distinct forms. One form is used in
ordinary text documents and the other in master documents.
In an ordinary text document, the Navigator displays lists of the
graphics, tables, index entries, hyperlinks, references, and other items
in the document, as shown on the left hand side of Figure 354. Click
the indicator (+ sign or triangle) by any list to display the contents of
the list. You can double-click an entry in the Navigator and jump
immediately to that place in the document.
