Working with large documents
TextMaker provides some useful functions for working with large documents:
Outlines
Large documents are often organized according to an outline – that is to say, a
hierarchical structure of headings. TextMaker’s Outline view allows you to
view and edit a document in outline form. You can change heading levels and
move headings (together with subordinated text) with a click of the mouse.
Indices
Large documents often need an index (an alphabetical list of keywords). In this
chapter you will also learn how TextMaker can create one for you from words
that you select for it.
Tables of contents
Outlined documents are often provided with a table of contents. TextMaker can
create one – from the outline – with the press of a button.
Captions and tables of figures
You can insert automatically numbered captions below images – for example,
“Figure 1”, “Figure 2” etc. When you have done that, you can even add a table
of figures to the document. It presents a list of all images that you have added
captions to, including their page numbers.
This also works with other text elements (for example, tables).
Bibliographies
TextMaker can also help you create a bibliography (a collection of references to
cited literature) for a document. Its integrated database module provides a convenient
way to enter and edit the sources.
Cross-references
FreeOffice: This feature is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
It is also possible to insert cross-references to other parts of the text or to
objects – for example: “see the picture on page 12”.
