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 11).

From the menu View choose Navigator (or simply press F5). The Navigator looks a bit like a table of contents, but it serves a very 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 see all your existing chapter headings. Clicking on any one of them will highlight it. Double-clicking on it will bring you right to the corresponding passage in the text. So it’s not necessary any more to scroll down (or up) to it.
Illustration 11. The navigator (F5)
A click on the Double arrow up (see illustration 11) will move the whole chapter including subsections, footnotes, illustrations etc. up – what OpenOffice calls Promoting a chapter. So chapter 5 for example will swap places with chapter 4. Numbering will be automatically updated – providing of course you’ve switched chapter numbering on (see section 6). Conversely you can Demote a chapter using the Double arrow down. Using the Double arrow right will Demote level of a chapter, say chapter 5 down to section 4.x. Conversely use the Double Arrow Left to Promote level of chapter, e.g. section 4.x to chapter 5.
Apart from headings, the navigator also lists graphics, tables, hyperlinks, the table of contents 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.
