Both menu types are ready. Please note that we did not use JavaScript in them, and this is rather a “plus” when indexing our site by search engines, but certainly not a “minus” since search engines do not index JavaScript. Although at the moment the search engine Google already begins to recognize him.

You probably already noticed a long time ago that there are more than two menus on the site and they have a different structure. I did not edit the article, like the previous one.

All that remains is to fill the pages of our website with content and we can safely say that half the work is done, but I will talk about this in the next article.

Working with big people multi-page documents V Microsoft Word may cause a number of difficulties with navigation and search for certain fragments or elements. Agree, it’s not so easy to move to the right place in a document consisting of many sections; simply scrolling the mouse wheel can be seriously tiring. It’s good that for such purposes you can activate the navigation area in Word, the capabilities of which we will talk about in this article.

There are several ways you can navigate your document using the Navigation Pane. Using this office editor tool, you can find text, tables, graphic files, diagrams, shapes and other elements. Also, the navigation area allows you to freely navigate to certain pages document or the headings it contains.

There are two ways to open the navigation area in Word:

1. On the panel quick access in the tab "Home" in the tools section "Editing" click the button "Find".

2. Press the keys "CTRL+F" on keyboard.

A window with the name will appear on the left side of the document "Navigation", all the possibilities of which we will consider below.

Navigation Aids

The first thing that catches your eye in the window that opens "Navigation"- this is a search bar, which, in fact, is the main tool of work.

Quickly search for words and phrases in text

To find the right word or a phrase in the text, just enter it (her) in the search bar. The place of this word or phrase in the text will immediately be displayed as a thumbnail under search bar, where the word/phrase will be highlighted in bold. Directly in the document body itself, this word or phrase will be highlighted.

Note: If for some reason the search result does not appear automatically, press "ENTER" or the search button at the end of the line.

To quickly navigate and switch between text fragments containing the word or phrase you are looking for, you can simply click on the thumbnail. When you hover your cursor over a thumbnail, a small tooltip appears that provides information about the document page on which the selected repetition of the word or phrase is located.

A quick search for words and phrases is, of course, very convenient and useful, but this is far from the only feature of the window "Navigation".

Finding objects in a document

Using the “Navigation” tools in Word, you can search and various objects. These may be tables, graphs, equations, figures, footnotes, notes, etc. All you need to do for this is expand the search menu (small triangle at the end of the search line) and select suitable type object.

Depending on the type of the selected object, it will be displayed in the text immediately (for example, a place for footnotes) or after you enter data for the request in the line (for example, some numeric value from the table or cell contents).

Setting navigation options

The Navigation section has several customizable options. In order to access them, you need to expand the search bar menu (the triangle at the end) and select "Options".

In the dialog box that opens "Search Options" you can do necessary settings by checking or unchecking the boxes that interest you.

Let's look at the main parameters of this window in more detail.

Match case— text search will be carried out taking into account the case of characters, that is, if you write the word “Find” in the search line, the program will search only for this spelling, skipping the words “find” written with a small letter. The converse also applies—by writing a word in lowercase with the “Match Case” option active, you will let Word know that similar words with capital letters must be skipped.

Only the whole word— allows you to find a specific word by excluding all its word forms from the search results. So, in our example, in Edgar Allan Poe’s book “The Fall of the House of Usher,” the surname of the Usher family appears quite a few times and in different word forms. By checking the box next to the parameter "Only the whole word", it will be possible to find all repetitions of the word “Asher” excluding its declensions and cognates.

Wildcards— provides the ability to use wildcards in searches. Why is this necessary? For example, there is some kind of abbreviation in the text, but you remember only some of its letters, or any other word in which you did not remember all the letters (this is possible, right?). Let's look at the example of the same “Ushers”.

Let's imagine that you remember the letters in this word after one. By checking the box next to the item "Wildcards", you can write “a?e?o” in the search bar and click on search. The program will find all words (and places in the text) in which the first letter is “a”, the third is “e”, and the fifth is “o”. All other intermediate letters of words, as well as spaces and symbols, will have no meaning.

Changed settings in the dialog box "Search Options", if necessary, can be saved as default by clicking on the button "Default".

By clicking the button in this window "OK", you will clear last search, and the cursor will be moved to the beginning of the document.

Button press "Cancel" in this window does not clear search results.

Move around a document using navigation tools

Chapter " Navigation» is designed to quickly and conveniently navigate through the document. Yes, for fast travel Based on the search results, you can use the special arrows located under the search line. Up arrow is the previous result, down arrow is the next one.

If you were looking not for a word or phrase in the text, but for some object, these same buttons can be used to move between the found objects.

If the text you're working with used one of the built-in heading styles, which also serve as section layouts, to create and format headings, you can use the same arrows to navigate through sections. To do this you will need to switch to the tab "Headlines", located under the search bar of the window "Navigation".

In the tab "Pages" you will be able to see thumbnails of all pages of the document (they will be located in the window "Navigation"). For fast switching between pages you just need to click on one of them.

Closing the Navigation window

After completing all the necessary actions with the Word document, you can close the window "Navigation". To do this, you can simply click on the cross located in the right top corner window. You can also click on the arrow located to the right of the window title and select the command there "Close".

IN text editor Microsoft Word, since version 2010, search and navigation tools are constantly being improved and improved. With each new version programs, navigation through document content, search necessary words, objects, elements is becoming easier and more convenient. Now you know what navigation is in MS Word.

Quite often you have to answer the question “Why doesn’t the site bring the expected results?” External signs: poor progress in search, the user leaves very quickly, there are views, but no purchases, etc. (add as necessary).

No one wants to admit the user’s simplest answer: the site is inconvenient. There can be many reasons for this. Design, business logic, placement, promotion are worthy of consideration in a separate material. Today we’ll talk a little about ensuring convenience for a potential user from the user’s point of view. Let's consider the narrow topic of “site navigation.”

Navigation bar

Or a more familiar-to-hear menu should be on every resource. It can be of any design, but the main requirement is that it must be understandable to the user and provide information by category. Redundancy will be harmful here. For example, I was always baffled by the menu logic in early Nokia phones. In the end, I didn’t love them completely. The same is true with websites and products. The menu logic should be clear to the user. It is this requirement that is most important. There is a rule: desired page should be achieved in 3 clicks. And a logical menu contributes to this. Large numbers of nested clauses should be avoided. A menu of more than 3 levels already makes navigation difficult.

"Breadcrumbs"

In large sites, especially with big amount product names or breadcrumbs content is required. Why: the user likes to understand where he is, especially when he first comes to the resource. If a person gets lost in three pines, he becomes uncomfortable and incomprehensible, and the site is subconsciously registered as inconvenient or deliberately abandoned.

Highlighting the current menu item or catalog in a separate color has worked well. This gives an understanding of how you can get to this place again. By the way, bread crumbs make it possible to partially replace the menu functionality (return from a product to a category, for example) and not use the “home” button in the menu. Unlike menus with large buttons, “crumbs” can be small and long string- this is usually perceived favorably - understanding where you are is more important.

Logo

The rule of good form is to set a link to the main page in the logo. It doesn’t matter whether the logo is presented with text, an image, or both. Again, returning to the home page by clicking on the logo makes it possible to save on the “home” button in the menu.

Page titles

Don’t forget about clear and concise page titles, looking at which it should be clear what is here or what will be discussed. Pay attention to the combination of the page title and alias. In most systems, the alias is created automatically from the header and can become too long. We control or edit manually - it will pay off. Some people like aliases in Cyrillic. On at this stage this evil. Even if the resource’s visitors are all Russian-speaking. Search engines, browsers and other software are not very friendly with the Cyrillic alphabet. In addition, you need to carefully monitor the correct encoding.

Login form

If you use registration on the site, then the login form Personal Area should be clear and conveniently located. It should be clearly visible whether you are currently logged into the site (displaying an avatar, login, nickname, etc.). In some cases, the registration form needs to be “hidden”. On no large projects robots and users who naively think that registration is required can cause a lot of problems. Note that the registration procedure relates to business logic and is considered separately.

Favicon

A little thing that many people forget about is favicon. The image that is displayed on the page tab in the browser. Adds convenience when navigating to the site when the browser is open a large number of tabs.

Search

Availability of search function. It is very necessary on websites of online stores or resources with a lot of content. It is advisable to have a convenient search box on each page. In most cases, you should limit yourself to searching the site and disable the search function throughout the Internet - do not push the visitor to leave...

It is reasonable to supplement the search with functions of filtering and searching through the archive (if the archive is used on the site). The specific solution depends on the business logic. This part also includes various “goodies” such as searching by calendar, selecting products by price, or searching by meta tags. On large projects, an advanced search (filtering) based on many parameters is justified. Just not with tags! The user needs simple checkboxes (radio buttons). And a large “SEARCH” button!

Navigation in the physical world

If an organization or store is located in the real physical world or has some kind of division in it (for example, a warehouse for issuing products), then:

• There should be functionality for selecting a city/region if there are representative offices in different populated areas,
• The operating time of the organization or the availability time for ordering goods and services.
• List of communication methods: telephone, e-mail, form feedback, skype, order a call back, etc. You shouldn’t limit yourself to just the phone, since call rates are completely different, and some people won’t want to spend money on a call. The “Online consultant” and “Order” forms are gaining popularity back call" But if these forms are not too intrusive.
• Directions map indicating the exact address, route by car, public transport And walking route. A sign of good form is an active built-in map from one of the services, a place mark on the “people's map”, coordinates for the navigator, a relevant address or geo-coordinates (so as not to search), the ability to plot and print a route.

And as promised, just a little bit about SEO. Choose the domain for your resource wisely. The name samieluchshieyuristivgorode.ru may reflect the meaning of the site about good lawyers, but try dictating it over the phone by voice or entering it manually from a business card. In addition, such a name will make not only SEO specialists hiccup (more than once).

Check the resource on grandmothers. If your grandmother can find/read/order/print on the site without your prompts, this is really convenient (although there are no limits to perfection). If she closes the site with a deep sigh, the real assessment of your work is that the grandmother mutters under her breath, because decent people do not express themselves out loud.

The resource or product must first of all be convenient end user, and not to demonstrate the developer’s capabilities: for this there is a portfolio and work “for show”.
