The Navigator

The Navigator, a scroll view found on the far left hand side of the Chart Window, is used to access any or all charts in a document. The Navigator contains thumbnail images for all of the charts in the document represented by the Chart Window. The thumbnails appear in the same order as the charts in the document. The current chart (the chart shown in the Chart View) is highlighted in the Navigator.

Using the Navigator

¥ When the Chart Window is the key window, you can use the directional keys (up-arrow, and down-arrow) to move through the charts one at a time, displaying each chart in turn in the Chart View. You can also click on any thumbnail in the Navigator to select its associated chart. As an alternative, you can use the chart indicator and arrow buttons in the lower right corner of the Chart Window.

¥ Clicking and dragging a chart thumbnail when holding down the Control key allows you to reorder the charts in a document.

¥ Selecting multiple charts in the Navigator is done by click-dragging , shift-clicking, or alt-clicking. Note that you cannot have a non-contiguous selection of charts. When more than one chart is selected in the Navigator, one chart remains the "viewed" chart (the chart shown in the Chart View), and this is indicated in the Navigator by a selection-box around the thumbnail.

¥ Selecting multiple charts allows you to apply templates to all of the selected charts, print only the selected charts, copy the selected charts, or delete all of the selected charts.

¥ When you create a new chart, it is inserted after the currently selected chart in the Navigator. When pasting charts into a document, they also are pasted after the currently selected chart in the Navigator.
