Navigate By
The Navigate By selection box allows choosing a category to navigate the document by, including pages, headings, sections, objects, fields, comments, latest search results and recency of cursor position. You can then use the Previous and Next arrow icons to position the text cursor in the document on the previous or next target.
Working With Navigate By
By default, as long as you have not selected any other category, the Page category is selected, and the arrows are replaced by a number field that can be used to go to the previous or the next page, or jump to a specific one.
Once you select another category, you can use the "Previous" or "Next" arrow buttons. The labels of these buttons indicate the type of object you have selected. The text cursor is then placed on whichever object you have selected.
Previous
Jumps to the previous item in the document. To specify the type of item to jump to, click the Navigate By list, and then click an item category - for example, "Images".
Previous Item
Next
Jumps to the next item in the document. To specify the type of item to jump to, click the Navigate By list, and then click an item category - for example, "Images".
Next Item
You can configure LibreOffice according to your specific preferences for navigating within a document. To do this, choose Tools - Customize. The various tables for adapting menus, keyboard input or toolbars contain various functions for navigation within the document under the "Navigate" category. For example, you can add buttons to a toolbar to jump to the index tags in the document with the "Go to Next/Previous Index Entry" commands.
The available categories largely correspond to those in the Navigator selection box. However, you can select other jump destinations that are not classic Navigator categories: for example, Reminders, Repeat Search or Recency.
Select from one of the following options: Bookmarks, Comments, Controls, Drawing objects, Fields by type, Fields, Footnotes, Frames, Headings, Images, Indexes, OLE objects, Page, Recency, Reminder, Repeat search, Sections, Selection, Table formula, Tables, Wrong table formula.
Footnotes
Select the Footnotes category to jump between footnotes and endnotes. This can be used in conjunction with the Anchor ↔ Text button in the Navigator, to quickly jump between the text of the footnote/endnote and its anchor in the body.
Recency
When selecting the Recency category, the Go back and Go forward buttons can be used to jump to recent cursor positions in the document.
Reminders
Up to 5 Reminders (which are not saved when the document is closed) can be set at various locations in the document. Set a reminder with the Set Reminders button in the Navigator.
Reminders are navigated in the order in which they are set. Reminders are not saved when a document is closed.
Repeat Search
With the category, you can repeat a search you started with the Search and Replace dialog or the Find toolbar. If you now click one of the arrows, the search will be resumed for the term last searched.
Selection
If a multiple selection is active (for example when using Ctrl + click and drag or the Adding selection mode, or after a Find All search), Selection allows jumping from one to the other.
Table Formulas
For table formulas, you can either jump to all table formulas located within your document with Table formula or only to the incorrect ones with Wrong table formula. For incorrect formulas, you jump only to formulas that have resulted in errors. The program skips over formulas with resulting errors (those that reference incorrect formulas).
