I am not quite sure I follow here. 

Clearly you are all encountering something similar that disrupts navigability 
for you. The first link on the TOC takes you to the start of each chapter. Why 
not just scroll down the page from there?

Is the issue that scanning the through a detailed TOC is too much? That that 
the "Go Back" links scattered throughout the chapter text too intrusive or 
something else entirely?

Thanks

Hi Lori,
That's what I thought when I read the manual a couple days ago.

Stacey, I agree with you; in an online version, it would be much easier to 
navigate with headings or lists.

Laurrie,
I'd like to see everything on proofreading in one section. Not split by various 
links. Maybe it could have headings instead.

Hi, Everyone,

Am I the only one who finds this online manual that we are reviewing this week 
to be extremely cumbersome to navigate?
I am reviewing Section 4 about Proofreading, and whenever I complete reading 
one small section, I wish there were a link that said "next" so that I could 
just proceed.
Am I missing some simple way to read through this document subsection after 
subsection?
I am not a novice at reading documents with links and other internet materials, 
but this manual prompts me to feel like a total beginner!
Any thoughts appreciated.

Lori C.
