Text-editing features are unfortunately minimal. While font control is simple, paragraph and style formatting are not available. Writing spaces may be viewed in one of three configurations. The Storyspace View displays nodes in a global map , the Outline View shows a vertical list of node names, and the Chart View displays them in a horizontal flow chart. A magnification tool allows one to zoom in on an area of particular interest.
Navigation is as easy as point and click.
Basic links may be made by drawing a line between two nodes and typing a label. Anchored links, indicated by a box around the text, are almost as effortless, requiring only that the anchor text is highlighted. These boxes may be made visible momentarily through a simple key combination. Though only reference links are available, a note tool automates annotation by combining the few steps that would otherwise be made manually. A local map is provided through the Roadmap menu item.
