  <title>Moving around a document</title>

  <p>You can move around each page of a document by any of the following
  methods:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Scrolling up and down using the mouse wheel. To move around a page
      just by moving the mouse:</p>
      <steps>
        <item>
          <p>Right-click the page and select <gui>Autoscroll</gui>.</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>Move the mouse pointer towards the bottom of the window to scroll
          down; it will scroll faster depending on how far down the window you
          go.</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>To stop autoscrolling, click anywhere in the document.</p>
        </item>
      </steps>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Using the scroll bar on the document window.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Using the up and down arrow keys of your keyboard.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Dragging the page around with your mouse, as if you are grabbing it.
      To do this:</p>
      <list>
        <item>
          <p>Move the mouse pointer over the page and hold down the middle
          mouse button to drag it around.</p>
        </item>
        <item>
          <p>If you don't have a middle mouse button, hold down the left and
          right mouse buttons at the same time, then drag.</p>
        </item>
      </list>
    </item>
  </list>

  <title>Navigating with a page list or table of contents</title>

  <p>When you open a file, you should have a side pane on the left side of the window.
  If you do not have a visible side pane,
  <guiseq><gui style="menuitem">View</gui>
  <gui style="menuitem">Sidepane</gui></guiseq>
  or press the <key>F9</key> key on the keyboard.</p>

  <p>The side pane shows a preview of all of the pages in the document.</p>

  <p>You can move between pages by clicking on them in the side pane.</p>

  <note>
    <p>Some documents have an index or table of contents, which you can display
    in the side pane. Select the <gui>Thumbnails</gui> Combobox at the top of the
    side pane and select <gui>Index</gui> to view it.</p>
    <note style="tip">
      <p>Most documents don't use this feature, so you won't be able to view
      their index in the side pane.</p>
