SECTION 4
Lesson 4.2: Viewing Tools

   

 

 

The document browser is the small dot between the double up and down arrows at the bottom of your vertical toolbar. You can see this section circled in the sample below:

 

 

You can use the dot to pick a browsing object, and then use the arrows to move to the previous () or next () object. When you click on the dot, you will see the menu pictured on the right. Let’s look at each of the choices. Most of them refer to elements we haven’t covered yet, but it’s useful to know how to browse by these elements for when we do learn about them.

 

 

Browse by field. (Fields are used in forms and mail merge, topics we haven’t covered yet.)

 

Browse by endnote.

Browse by footnote.

Browse by comment.

 

Browse by section. (Remember how our Blue Whales report had sections?)

Browse by page. (This is the default choice.)

Browse using the Go To box. (This brings up the same window as if you had clicked File and clicked Go To.)

Browse using the Find dialog box. (This brings up the same window as if you had clicked File and clicked Find.)

 

Browse by edits. (This is a tool used when reviewing documents.)

Browse by heading. (Headings are also used in outlines.)

Browse by graphic.

Browse by table.

 

So, you would first select an object from the document browser. Then, you could use the double up or down arrows to move to the previous or next object. (You can also use the Ctrl + Page Up or Ctrl + Page Down shortcuts.) So, if we were creating an outline, we could select Browse By Section, and then use the up or down arrows to easily move between sections.
