Browsing all objects in Word 97 documents


Tip
Nowadays, documents can be filled with objects as well as plain text, and Word 97 adds a quick new way to explore such objects in your documents. You can browse them using only your mouse and the scroll bar. You jump from object to object without having to scroll through all the intervening text. Objects that can be browsed include graphics, tables, headings, sections, fields, and even footnotes and endnotes.
Browsing objects is the fastest way to review individual elements of your document -- and it's a handy way to proofread for errors that you might otherwise have skimmed over.
Just follow these two steps to use this handy new tool.
1. Click the Select Browse Object button on the scroll bar, and select the object type that you want to browse in the resulting dialogue box.
2. To browse through the objects, click either the up or down double-arrow icons. Word will jump up or down in the document, displaying each object of the selected type in turn.
