ABSTRACT:
A method, memory, and apparatus locate a portion (e.g., page) in a compound document. The method directs a computer, having at least a display device, to locate the specific page in the compound document. Specifically, the method creates an outline for each portion of the compound document, displays a display container (e.g., mini window) in a first position on the display (e.g., at a certain position on the scroll bar), wherein the first position corresponds to a first portion (e.g., page) of the compound document, in response to invoking a command by user controls (e.g., holding down second mouse button), scrolls the display container from the first position to at least a second position on the display, and wherein the second position corresponds to a second portion (e.g., page) of the compound document, and displays the outline of the second portion of the compound document in the display container.
