The Editor View Navigation Pane

In the Editor view, the navigation pane shows all of the documents that are currently open in the view. Each document appears as a branch in the navigation tree. Select a document from the tree to make it the active document.

By default the navigation pane is expanded. To minimize the navigation pane, click the Minimize the Navigation Pane button nav_close.jpg at the top of the navigation pane. To expand the navigation pane, click the Expand the navigation pane button expand_nav_pane.jpg.

Navigating Individual Documents

You can expand a document in the navigation tree to reveal its structure. For example, a document may contain headers, footers and tables, and these appear as document components in the navigation tree.

Once you have expanded a document, you can select the part of the document you want to work with and Editor window automatically scrolls the document until the selected document part is displayed in the Editor window.

A plus sign + indicates that a document can be expanded. Click the plus sign to see the document structure.

When you click a plus sign, it changes to a minus sign. Click the minus sign to hide the document structure again.

 

NOTE

Each document is opened in a separate window in the Editor and you can navigate the documents by switching from one window to another.

Merged Documents

A single document may have been created by merging several files. Merged documents are identified in the navigation tree by appending the following icon to the document name:

When you expand a merged document, each of the merged files is displayed as a separate document part and can be expanded in the usual way.
