hi,

This s about editing, using NAVIGATOR. A very simple suggestion, which could make Writer extremely intelligent and even more useful as it is today :)

You have a document, with headings... 

say, one "Heading 1" heading, and several "Heading 2"-s.. (doesn't matter)


The point is:
When you're editing your document, you wanna know at which page the given heading (chapter title or sub-chapter title) is...


This could be displayed in NAVIGATOR...

see the attached example :)

and the navigator scree shot :)

Hi Peter, thank you for your idea. I don't know, if this is feasible, so let's ask Jim Raykowski. Personally I have no certain opinion on this suggestion. Let's ask design-team

If such information is added I would not tweak the label but add it to the tooltip. However, feels wrong and unnecessary to me.

There are probably usecases where this is needed, but I have a hard time imagining them as common. Usually, length limits are for full texts (maybe excluding index etc.); the question on which page a headline starts might be relevant for layouts, but that is better solved by paragraph style text flow settings.
