I'm wondering what tools people use to create large scale menu structures. For instance, if you were asked to work with a hierarchical menu for a 10000 page site, how would you manipulate the menu?
Currently, I use Word's outlining feature, which lets me see structure easily, expand and contract categories, promote and demote, and so on. I use a style called "Note" to write notes to myself about a particular section or item, which I can later delete or keep to show in the documentation later. To create pages I either type them in myself (sigh) or (brightens!) import them after creating a sitemap list with a spider or client sitemap. Does anyone have something better? I've seen people working in Excel but I find that clunky. Axure has a sitemapping tool which seems to be more about linking to pages inside Axure, ditto Visio. Intuitect has something but I'm not familiar with it, and it seemed when I looked at the demo that you couldn't export it out afterwards or import pages in, forcing you to create each one yourself.
