A few remarks from someone who uses the outline pane heavily to contend with a particularly large and complicated document: please note that many approaches to using the Outline pane exist. I use the "TOC" entries; however, I heavily use the figure, table, citations, cross-reference, marginal notes, and equation drop-down-based views also. Accordingly, I recommend not getting too fixated on the terminology in one of many cases. Please contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns in this matter. Thank you, Joel
