This is my second reply to you; now using version 3.4_dev from our
ArchLinux repo and further version information shows 300M85 build
9515.

Yes is right; it works much better with this latest version.  Thanks.

Not at all; as I mentioned above, the ArchLinux maintainers have a
beta (3.3) and dev(3.4) already packaged up so I didn't have to go and
compile and build my own package.  I'm not sure how stable OOo is at
this stage of development as I had a pretty heavy crash once but in
general, I was able to use the navigator to jump around headers and
after a fashion, jump to a desired page number.  If I may, I would
like to point out an observation concerning the page selection and ask
to see if this is proper behavior.  When I get into the navigator
toolbar, I can aaarrow over to the panel which says something to the
effect that you should type in the page number and then press enter.
Well first, I could not type in the page number until after pressing
enter first.  Also, in order to get to the correct page, I had to
highlight the entire text box and then overtype with the new page
number and then not press the enter key; it just goes after typing in
the digits.  This doesn't sound right to me but what do Iknow?

Can you observe this observation?

Oh, I love that header deal; that is really slick.  I took a book I'm
proofreading for BookShare and applied a heading1 style to all the
chapter titles and the list of headers shows up in the nav toolbar and
I just hit enter on the heading I want.  It goes right there.  I love
it!
