Within the master document, navigate to the page of the subdocument on which you

inserted the cross-reference field. You should now see the text of the cross-reference

appear in the spot where you inserted it, because within the master document, the

subdocument can find the target of that field reference.

This technique also works if you open a subdocument directly in step 2 (that is, not

from within the master document) and insert a cross-reference field.

Using the Navigator

The Navigator is a very useful tool that helps you move quickly to specific parts of

your document. It also provides information about the content of the document and

enables you to reorganize some of the content. For example, if each chapter in your

final book is a separate document, then in the master document they can be

reordered, and the references are renumbered automatically and the table of

contents and index can be updated.

In Writer, the Navigator has two distinct forms. One form is used in ordinary text

documents and the other in master documents.

In an ordinary text document, the Navigator displays lists of the graphics, tables,

index entries, hyperlinks, references, and other items in the document, as shown on

the left hand side of Figure 381. Click the indicator (+ sign or triangle) by any list to

display the contents of the list. You can double-click an entry in the Navigator and

jump immediately to that place in the document.

In a master document, you can toggle between the regular and master views by

clicking on the Toggle icon at the upper left. In the master view, the Navigator lists

the subdocuments and text sections, as shown on the right hand side of Figure 381.

The use of the Navigator in a master document is covered in more detail later in this

chapter (see “Step 6. Insert the subdocuments into the master document” on page

369 and “Cross-referencing between subdocuments” on page 374).
