OK, but not all OK...
In MS Word's case, the Document Map feature allowed you to view an
'outline' version of your document, only showing Heading-styled text.
This way, you had a concise overview of the structure of, say, a long
document, and could easily navigate around it, from beginning to end,
almost always with a single click.
In OOo Navigator's case, all I have been able to do is click the Up
or Down arrows and move one section at a time in either direction
(toward the beginning or toward the end); if you want to move to a
distant part of the document then you have to click multiple times
and you lose track of where you are.
Am I missing something?
Many thanks for the replies, guys.

I remember in my MS Word days under MacOS 9, I had a feature within
Word called 'Document Map'. What it did was it produced a column to
the left of my main document window, and it picked up and listed all
text that was formatted as any style but Normal (i.e. if something
was 'Heading 1' or 'Heading 2' etc. it was listed) with a disclosure
triangle on its left. If you clicked on the triangle, the other
subtitles of that section showed underneath. If you clicked on the
line of text that made the list entry, the cursor was duly placed at
the pertinent place in the main document window; sort of like a
Navigation tool for long and structured documents.
Bottom line: is there anything like this in Write?
As always, many thanks.
There are two tools in OOo that will give you the info you are asking
about. Styles can be seen in the Styles and Formatting window and the
Navigator will give you the rest. I suggest that you dock both windows
for ease of use.
