Abstract

Disclosed herein is a method and graphical user interface (GUI) for navigating within the contents of a computer file, and specifically within a large non-paginated graphical file. A first portion of the file is displayed at a first magnification. Thereafter, an option is selected to display a second portion of the contents of the file (preferably the entire file) at a second lower magnification. An area is defined within the displayed second portion that highlights the first portion. This area is moveable, preferably by clicking and dragging the area using a mouse pointer, to a new (third location) on the file. Thereafter, the method allows the third portion to be automatically or manually magnified as was the first portion.
