--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- I have several times attempted to make the move from OpenOffice to LibreOffice (most recently with LO version 5.0.2, with Windows 8.1; previously with several other LO versions and Win 8.0, 7 and others), which in most respects seems to be a much better program. What’s keeping me back is the way the Navigator works in LO. Glancing through this and other forums, it seems to me that I am not the only person with this concern. I work a lot with long documents. At present, I’m writing a 500-page book with three main parts, divided into (in all) 30 chapters and about 100 subchapters. I constantly need to move around from subchapter to subchapter in this text, and the Navigator (Contents view) as it appears in OpenOffice is ideal for this purpose: all chapters and subchapters are spread out in plain view, I can jump around freely, and if I can’t remember if subchapter X is located in chapter 17, 18 or 19, I can find it at a glance and go to it instantly. For me this is an essential feature. It was my main reason for migrating from WordPerfect to OpenOffice, even though I’m a long-standing WP user – since version 3.0. Unfortunately, this is not the way Navigator works in LO: - When I (re)open a document, Navigator always appears in a totally closed state, which means that I have to click 33 times on the little “+”-signs in order to get the document’s contents spread out the way I need them to be. - When I close and reopen Navigator without exiting the document (press F5 twice), the same thing happens. - When I double-click on an opened chapter title, to move there, the subchapters of all other chapters disappear and I must reopen them. - Finally, there is no keyboard shortcut or button I can click that would open up all chapters and subchapters all at once. This is an extremely impractical, and – it seems to me – extremely illogical way for the program to work. Could someone please, please, please, please fix it! It is the only reason why I am still using OpenOffice, and there must be plenty of people out there who share this problem with me. Unfortunately, I do not know how to program, or I would have had a go at it myself. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
