In addition to the Page Number field on the Status bar (described in
Status bar), Writer provides other ways to move quickly through a document and find specific items by using the many features of the Navigator, the Navigation toolbar, and related icons.
To open the Navigator, click its icon
on the Standard toolbar, or press F5, or choose Edit > Navigator on the menu bar. You can dock the Navigator to either side of the main Writer window or leave it floating (see
Docking/floating windows and toolbars).
The Navigator displays lists of all the headings, tables, text frames, graphics, bookmarks, and other objects contained in a document.
To hide the list of categories and show only the icons at the top, click the List Box On/Off icon
. Click this icon again to show the list. Click the + sign by any of the lists to display the contents of the list.
