Navigation Pane

A live outline of every heading in your document with optional page numbers, section review statuses, and any Excel links nested inside - all clickable to jump straight there.

When to use it

  • Jumping around a 100-page offering memorandum without scrolling.
  • Reviewing which sections are done, in review, or still pending.
  • Seeing every Excel-linked table or value inside a given section at a glance.
  • Confirming page numbers for a table of contents handoff.
  • Refreshing a single linked value without hunting for it in the body.

Tips & shortcuts

  • Section statuses are saved inside the document, so they survive sharing and reopening.
  • Page numbers fill in gradually for long documents - the pane stays responsive while Word repaginates.
  • Right-click a linked item to refresh it or open the source workbook.
  • Page numbers are cached per document, so reopening the pane is instant after the first load.
  • The pane highlights the heading containing your current cursor position automatically.
