Panels !!!!!!

[Simeon Bodurov]

Look at the Document Map and Thumbnails in Word 2007 in the VIEW tab.
Thay are changed by checkboxes and combobox.

Now look at the panels Bookmarks and Pages in Abobe Acrobact Reader. Thay
are like tabs. I think that this is more convenient way to show this panels.
The only thing that Abobe have missed is that thay placed the tabs 3 pixes
from the left site of the window (when it is maximized), so I cannot slam the
mouse to the left and chage or show/hide panels.
Look at Intellij IDEA. Thay have done the panels right.
Another good example of this kind of UI is web browser Opera.

I want USEABE panels, NOT this checkboxes that act like raido buttons on the
VIEW ribbon tab.

Hi Simeon,

Be sure to use the Office 2007 feedback tool from the link below to send your feedback directly to the MS Office team.

FWIW, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to show/hide the thumbnail view and the Document map from
File(Office button)=>Word Options=Customization
Choose the keyboard customize key then in that dialog select the
'View' category, then the ToggleThumbnailView choice then assign a shortcut key you wish to use.
