Abstract
A system and method are provided for selecting thumbnail images in a multi-page document. The method displays a multi-position scroll bar and a thumbnail of a document nth (initial) page. As a user modifies the scroll bar position in the display, the nth page thumbnail display is maintained. Simultaneously with maintaining the nth page thumbnail display, page numbers are displayed that are responsive to the scroll bar positions. Following the selection of a new scroll bar position display, a kth (destination) page number is displayed, along with a (kth) thumbnail associated with the kth page. For example, the kth thumbnail is displayed in response to maintaining the scroll bar position for a predetermined time duration (e.g., 1 second), or deselecting the scroll bar. In one aspect, a document total page count is simultaneously displayed.
