Have you ever heard of Word’s Navigation Pane? It’s a sidebar you can view on the left of your document that allows you to move more quickly through your Word document. Use it to browse your document by Headings, Thumbnails, and Searching for words. To turn it on using a PC, go to the VIEW Tab and put a CHECK in front of NAVIGATION PANE. On a Mac, go to the VIEW menu and highlight SIDEBAR, then select any of the choices there.

Browse by Headings

To browse by Headings, you need to format your sections using the Styles gallery, using the Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3 styles. Once you’ve applied this organizational formatting, the FIRST VIEW in the Navigation Pane becomes a list of your sections and subsections.

A tiny triangle appears before each heading level that has subsections. Click on the TRIANGLE to expand and collapse the list. Second-level headings are slightly indented.

Click on the HEADINGS to jump to that section. On a PC, use the UP AND DOWN arrows to skip from section to section. Click and drag the SECTION BARS to rearrange the document. Much faster than cutting and pasting!

The PC version of Word also allows you to instantly change between Heading 1, 2, or 3 styles, and change the section’s indent. Right-click on a SECTION and choose PROMOTE or DEMOTE.
