You are correct that a long scroll is not a convenient form. That's why codex books won out over scrolls. Use Section and Subsection organization. Add ShowGroupOpener -> True options to these cells to make it easier to open and close them. The Presentations Application style sheet has these built in for all Section and subsection grouping cells (but not Input/Output groups). None of the WRI style sheets have them. Do close the sections. The Menu -> Cell -> Close All Subgroups will close them all but has the disadvantage of also closing all Input/Output groups as well. I prefer to just close the Sectional groups by hand. You could write Text cells at the top of the notebook with Hyperlinks to the various sections using cell tags on the Sectional grouping cells. This would form a table of contents. However, this is a bit of work to do for all notebooks and still leaves the long scroll. It's not that much work to open and close sections by hand and a notebook with a proper balance of sections and scrolling is ideal - much better than antique scrolls or the codex book form with its arbitrary division into pages. David Park djmpark at comcast.net http://home.comcast.net/~djmpark/index.html From: Alan [mailto:alan.isaac at gmail.com] As some of my notebooks are get larger, navigating is becoming clumsy. I expected to find a navigation menu somewhere, which could be traversed hierarchically. Of course if you close all cells, you end up with something like that, but I don't want to start by closing all cells. Is there a way? This is probably a FAQ but I didn't find it answered.
