Thanks for the IDEA! info.

[Stephen D.: Have you ever tried to use BrainStorm as a database, say using color to distinguish headings from text?]

I’m currently in the middle of a project were I need to do something of the sort and I am relying on Brainstorm as there’s a lot of structured text editing involved.

I don’t feel comfortable with colour at all, so my solution for headings is to use ALL CAPS. (An additional reason for this is that Brainstorm doesn’t yet identify namesakes with Greek characters of different case). They stand out clearly in the aerial view.

Also, I use headings like [ORIGINAL TEXT] to note the various sections of the document.

The only thing I miss is navigation history and backwards/forwards keys.
