Chapter 3: Managing Text Documents With Writer
Chapters in Navigator
In long documents, use the Navigator to obtain an overview and change the sequence of
chapters or their level in the hierarchy of chapters and sub-chapters. The only condition is
that “Heading” Paragraph Styles must be applied to the chapter headings (or choose the
Paragraph Styles which will be recognised as headings under Tools > Outline Numbering).
Drag and drop to change the sequence of chapters. Users can also do this by clicking on the
Promote Chapter and Demote chapter icons. The content of the chapters and of the
relevant subsections is of course also moved.
To move the chapter headings without moving their contents, drag and drop while holding
down the Ctrl key. (The Drag Mode icon only affects drag and drop behaviour between
Navigator and document). When using this function, switch on Heading Levels Shown by
clicking on the relevant icon in the Navigator, to see what is happening in the document.
Other Navigator Features
When one wants to know about the objects in a document, the Navigator can be very helpful,
particularly in longer documents,. For example, there is an HTML page open, the Navigator
tells at a glance which hyperlinks the page contains including any hidden hyperlinks.
However, hidden hyperlinks will be without reference text.
