Using Nisus to navigate long documents

Post by bodsham »

I write fiction for a living - books with multiple sections and chapters running to 130k words or more. Nisus looks really interesting but what stops me buying it is something simple. I can’t see an easy way to navigate through the structure of a long document. Word has its navigation menu which shows me all chapter headings in one go, so I can move from different parts of the book very easily. Mellel has something very similar, and more useful to me too. I can’t see how that can be done easily in Nisus. I'd be back to scrolling back to find the right chapter heading manually. Am I missing something? I am looking at the 2.5 beta btw.

You're not missing anything, since we currently don't have a way to navigate longer documents conveniently. But we're well aware that this is something users would like to see, so be sure it is on our list of features to add sooner rather than later.
