Chapter 9. Advanced Topics

The sections that are included in this chapter are for advanced users. The instructions for these sections will assume you are familiar with the basic operation of KWord.

Document Structure

Sometimes, when editing a complicated document, it can be helpful to look at an organized view of your document.

You can use this organized view to jump immediately to certain text frames, select picture frames or simply review your document.

Show and hide document structure window

Because simple documents do not need the information provided in the document structure window, KWord has the ability to toggle the document structure window on and off.

To toggle the document structure window on and off, select View->Show Doc Structure from the menubar.

Navigating the document structure window

Lets examine a sample document structure window.



As you can see, there are 4 groups of frames categorized (Embedded Objects, Formula Frames, Pictures, Text Frame/Framesets).

Embedded Objects

Within this category, is an alphabetical list of all frames that contain data from other KOffice applications.

Formula Frames

Within this category is a list of all frames that contain formulas.

Pictures

Within this category is a list of all frames that contain pictures, and the directory the pictures were loaded from.

Text Frame/Framesets

Within this category, is a list of all text framesets. Below each frameset, each frame is listed.

You can use your mouse to select the category you want. Double click on the category to expand or contract the category.

Note

Depending on your document, you may not have all categories in your document structure window. The category only appears when there is at least one frame in the category.
