# Document Structure

Sometimes, when editing a complicated document, it can be helpful to look at an organized view of your document.

You can use this organized view to jump immediately to certain text frames, select picture frames or simply review your document.

## Show and hide document structure area

Because simple documents do not need the information provided in the document structure window, &kword; has the ability to toggle the document structure window on and off.

To toggle the document structure window on and off, select View Show Doc Structure from the menubar to make the document structure window visible. Select View Hide Doc Structure from the menubar to make the document structure window disappear.

## Navigating the document structure area

Lets examine a sample document structure window.

As you can see, there are 4 groups of frames categorized (Embedded Objects, Formula Frames, Pictures, Text Frame/Framesets).

Embedded Objects

  Within this category, is an alphabetical list of all frames that contain data from other &koffice; applications.

Formula Frames

  Within this category is a list of all frames that contain formulas.

Pictures

  Within this category is a list of all frames that contain pictures, and the folder the pictures were loaded from.

Text Frame/Framesets

  Within this category, is a list of all text framesets. Below each frameset, each frame is listed.

You can use your mouse to select the category you want. Double click on the category to expand or contract the category.
