The sections that are included in this chapter are for advanced users. The instructions for these sections
will assume you are familiar with the basic operation of KWord.
Sometimes, when editing a complicated document, it can be helpful to look at an organized view of your document.
You can use this organized view to jump immediately to certain text
frames, select picture frames, change frame properties, delete frames,
or simply review your document.

Navigating the document structure area
Lets examine a sample
Document Structure
area.
As you can see, there are five groups of frames categorized (
Text
Frames/Frame Sets
Pictures
,
Tables
,
Formula
Frames
,
Embedded Objects
).
-
Text Frames/Frame Sets
-
Within this category, is a list of all text framesets. Below
each frameset, each frame is listed. Below each frame, each paragraph is
listed.
-
Pictures
-
Within this category is a list of all frames that contain
pictures, and the folder the pictures were loaded from.
-
Tables
-
Within this category is a list of all frames that contain
tables. Note that a table behaves very much like a frameset.
Each cell of the table is a frame, and each frame may contain
multiple paragraphs.
-
Formula Frames
-
Within this category is a list of all frames that contain
formulas.
-
Embedded Objects
-
Within this category, is an alphabetical list of all frames
that contain data from other KOffice applications.
You can use your mouse to select the category you want, or first
put focus in the document structure area (press
Alt
-

)
then use the up and down arrow keys to scroll through the list.
Double click on a category to expand or collapse the category,
or press the right or left arrow keys.
Note

appears when there is
at least one
frame in the
category.
