Using the Navigation Pane
As mentioned, the Office 2010 Navigation Pane replaces the Document Map from earlier versions of Word. In addition to quickly jumping to important document sections by clicking a thumbnail or text heading, you can do the following:
- Execute Finds to locate text in the document that marks the spot to which you want to go
- Rearrange document sections by dragging their headings in the Navigation Pane
- Search for other material, such as tables, graphics, equations, footnotes/endnotes, and reviewer comments
To open/close the Navigation Pane:
- To open the Navigation Pane, switch to the View tab and click the Navigation Pane check box in the Show group (see Figure 4.18), click the Find icon in the Editing group on the Home tab, or press
. - To close the pane, click its close box (X) or remove the check mark from the Navigation Pane check box in the Show group.
To go to a particular page or heading:
To go to a heading, click the Headings tab in the Navigation Pane. In the list that appears (Figure 4.45), click the desired heading.
