Navigator
This is frustrating. I have a master document with 50 sub documents
under Win 7 / OOo 3.4.1 which I've been working on for nearly 3 years
now. I don't remember at this point just what version of OOo I was
using when I created the documents, but I've been on this version for
quite a while now. Every time I used to open the master document it
used to automatically open the Navigator alongside it (including under
my current system), and it was a little annoying because it was always
on top of what I wanted. Now, I NEED the navigator and it doesn't
open. I have no idea what I might have done to suppress it.
Can someone please tell me how to open the Navigator?

Set a blank document up as you wish, changing the styles, then save as a template.

Change the path under /Tools /Options/OpenOffice.org :Paths
Yoou may need to restart OpenOffce including the Quickstarter for this to take (I'm not certain)

I was cc'd this email, and while it doesn't address my query, you sound like someone who might know something about this awful word processing app. Here are the questions I sent to users@open office- and received no response:
1. How can I change the default font?
2. Can I make saving to the desktop the default instead of to documents?
3. How can I alphabetize a list of words, and can I do this by either first name or second name?

That means most likely that navigator is docked but minimised. Check to
see if there is a a row of about 6 dots in a vertical row about half way
down one side, most likely on the left as that's the default. If its not
there press F5 and see if it appears. If it does then just hover your
cursor over until a double ended arrow appears. Click and hold and drag
away from the screen edge.

Whoops, I found it. After pressing F5 I had to pull it out from the
edge of the window frame. Before it used to open in a separate little
windowlet, and that is what I was expecting.

That doesn't work. The only thing that happens when I hit F5 is the
document inside the window frame shifts to the right about 1/8 of an
inch. Then if I press F5 again, it shifts back to its original
position. But no Navigator.
