Navigator in Writer not intuitive
Last modified: 2014-04-09 05:29:00 UTC
Hello, in the Navigator of Writer it's often not clear, *what* to navigate: Example: If I double-click on the page counter at the window bottom ("Page 1/2"), the Navigator opens. But optically, it's not obvious that now "Navigation: Page" is selected... a) The Navigator window seems quite overloaded with icons and options. b) Within the list, unexpectedly "Headings" is marked blue - no item "Page" is available. c) The current navigation mode ("Page") is invisibly hidden behind the Navigation-Button. d) The Navigator's counter field (e.g. "1") has no mouse-over help, *what* you flip up/down. e) The Navigator windows's headline doesn't show the current navigation mode ("Page"), either. Sorry, but for getting to another page, the solution of MS-Word is much more lean, obvious and effective: "Go to: ..." with an obvious selected mode "Page". More options are put on other tabs. With OOWriter's Navigator, I feel a little bit overwhelmed by more than ten icons. (Impress and Spreadsheet seem easier and more "tidy".) So, I really would appreciate, if 1. the current Navigation mode would obvious, e.g. by showing "Page" in the Navigator - either in the window's headline or selected in the list instead of Headings 2. if possible, the number of icons could be reduced in this view, e.g. by using tabs Thank you.
