<snip> For a novel author good understanding of how styles works could be invaluable as well. Especially if you are looking at following seperate characters concurrently. Each "scene" can use a 'scene style heading' and moving the heading up and down the list of scenes in the navigator will allow the whole scene to be repositioned within the document without the use of cut and paste. Promotion and demotion will allow you to make the unexpectedly long scene into a chapter in its own right, or to reduce the short chapter to just a scene. As i am not an author of tomes much larger than these emails, perhaps other authors on the list could point out better uses of styles for novel writing. -- Michael Those that can, do; those that can't, teach. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
