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.
