hi all ,
I have implemented a visual navigation
extension for Openoffice writer. As a solution for the issue on
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=41087 i came up with XVN -
XVisualNavigator(beta version) which can be used to overcome the issue of
Reading Layout view. XVN shows a window by left side of the top-window which
contains small thumbnails of all pages of the current document. Thumbnails
are clear and user could see the contents of the pages to identify the
particular page. This will help for every OO writer user and specially the
users who work with large documents.
*Functions of XVN *
1. User can see each page separately with clear thumbnail view.
2. There are four navigation buttons Next, Previous, Home, End .
3. Refresh button to refresh the XVN.
4. The selected page is in highlighted mode.
5. Navigation by just clicking on the relevant page.
6. Automatically resizing with top-window.
*To Do List*
*
*
1. Auto refresh when add or delete pages action happens to the document.
2. Auto refresh modified or edited page when the user moves to another page.
3. Make XVN platform independent.

All your new suggestions and comments are mostly welcome for my further
implementations to the XVN.
