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. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT An exemplary embodiment includes an apparatus, memory, and method for efficiently locating one or more pages within a compound document.
The exemplary embodiment is preferably practiced in a suitable representative hardware configuration, such as the hardware configuration illustrated in FIG.
2.
Referring to FIG.
2, workstation 200 includes any suitable central processing unit 210, such as a conventional microprocessor, and a number of other units interconnected via system bus 212.
Illustratively, workstation 200 includes random access memory ("RAM") 214, read only memory ("ROM") 216, display adapter 236 for connecting system bus 212 to display device 238, and I/O adapter 218 for connecting peripheral devices (e.
g.
disk and tape drives 220) to system bus 212.
Workstation 200 further includes user interface adapter 222 for connecting keyboard 224, mouse 226, speaker 228, microphone 232, and/or other user interface devices, such as a touch screen device (not shown), to system bus 212.
Communication adapter 234 connects workstation 200 to a data processing network.
The exemplary embodiment also includes a graphical user interface (e.
g.
Motif Window Manager) that resides within a machine-readable media to direct the operation of workstation 200.
Any suitable machine-readable media may retain the GUI, such as RAM 214, ROM 216, a magnetic diskette, magnetic tape, or optical disk (the last three being located in disk and tape drives 220).
The GUI allows a user to efficiently and effectively locate specific pages within a compound document by directing CPU 210 to generate a scrollable mini window (also referred to as "display container", described herein).
However, one skilled in the art will readily recognize that the GUI could utilize other means in place of the mini window to implement the exemplary embodiment.
While any suitable operating system and associated GUI (e.
g.
, Microsoft Windows) may direct CPU 210, in the preferred embodiment, the AIX operating system and AIXwindows windowing system (i
