Illustration index. The various tables, illustrations and so on in your text need to have a

Caption, which will then appear in the index. You could combine several indices into one

naming it “Illustrations and Tables”. For this to work your tables’ caption would have to be

fitted into the category of illustrations.

8 Outline

Sometimes you might be asked to hand in an outline of your work in advance of the actual

homework or thesis. You can use chapter headings for this purpose, then generate a table of

contents as described above though removing the last two entries (punctuated tab stop and

page number), leaving just chapter number and name. Then just replace the title “Table of

Contents” with “Outline”. Finally place your outline on a new page using Ctrl + Return, add

pertinent information at top of page (name, theme etc.) and print out this one page.

9 Navigating your Text

From the menu View choose Navigator (or simply press

F5). The Navigator looks a bit like a table of contents, but it

serves a completely different purpose. Whereas the table of

contents is part of the document and will get printed along

with all the rest, the navigator is not part of the document.

Rather it is an electronic key which allows you to manipulate

the document.

Now press the small black triangle next to the category

Headings. You will then see all your existing chapter Head-

ings. Clicking on any one of them will highlight it. Double-

clicking on it will bring you right to the corresponding pas-

sage in the text. So it’s not necessary any more to scroll

down (or up) to it.

A click on the Double Arrow Up-Icon will move the whole

chapter including subsections, footnotes, illustrations etc. up – what OpenOffice calls promoting

a chapter (see illustration 10). So chapter 5 for example will swap places with chapter 4. Con-

versely using the Double Arrow Down. Using the Double Arrow Right will lower the level

of a chapter heading down to a section heading, for instance chapter 5 to section 4.x. Con-

versely using the Double Arrow Left.

Apart from headings, the navigator also lists graphics, tables, hyperlinks and many other

objects you can easily jump to with a double-click.

Unlike the table of contents, the Navigator updates itself automatically.

The Navigator is especially useful in the context of group work – see section 10.

Illustration 10: Here you see all your headings,

which you can move up or down
