Normally these are the paragraphs with heading styles. Using the Navigator, you can move these around, with their sub-paragraphs, promote them, demote them, and so on. In effect, it's an outlining window, though you can only edit text in the main window beside it. But there is one more trick that makes this really useful. If you set your defaut text style to a numbering level of 10, the first words of every single paragraph will show up in the navigator even without explicit numbering and you can then push _them_ around too. Another trick is to have a special label style for when the argument turns sharp corners -- that's what I do at the moment -- with quite a high outline level and write little labels in this style which can then be deleted in the final draft. -- Andrew Brown The email in the header does not work.
