Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 116292
2-way navigation for Footnote/Endnote/Cross-reference
Last modified: 2011-01-04 11:30:56 UTC
This urgent feature is a must-have in OOo 3.2.1 and any future versions. Unless I have missed something, a user currently cannot jump back to the reference (Parent) of a Footnote/Endnote/Cross-reference in a Writer document and exported PDF. Any numbered Footnote/Endnote/Cross-reference must have links automatically attached (or through optional check box in relevant dialog window) to its numbered component in order to allow Users to click on that number so as to jump back to the source anchor located throughout the document. Why only linking the numbered component of Footnote/Endnote/Cross-reference? Answer: in order to allow, where desired, external Hyperlinks in the body component of the Footnote/Endnote/Cross-reference. So clicking on the numbering component of a typical Footnote/Endnote or Cross-reference would enable Users to navigate back and forth to its source anchor for continuous reading without ever needing to use the scroll bar. Now that's what I call intelligent navigation!
