JOYSTICK TOOL FOR NAVIGATING THROUGH PRODUCTIVITY DOCUMENTS

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a joystick tool for navigating through a productivity document. A method for adjusting a viewable portion of a document in a document authoring application may include displaying, on a display, at least a portion of a productivity document having an associated bounding area. The method may also include displaying, at a location within the productivity document, a joystick tool having an associated bounding area smaller than the productivity document bounding area. Furthermore, the method may include receiving a user input within the bounding area of the joystick tool, determining a document navigational operation based on the user input, and adjusting a viewable portion of the productivity document from a first viewable portion to a second viewable portion based on the document navigational operation. The second viewable portion of the productivity document may differ from the first viewable portion.
