Our dialogs are not modal. They have vocation to stay open too :)
That's not the same. If you want a comparisaon, take the layout combo:
you always want to know what is the current layout. Similarly, you
always want to know where you are within your document. The fact that
other dialogs are modal is just handy: you can have access to them
easily and at your prefered position if need be. This is definitely not
the same thing. Am I alone in thinking that way?
I do not buy your argument...
Tete de mule.

Good point.
What about renaming the entry as "Outline" or "Show outline"?

I have never heard of such a word, and I am not sure I would associate
it to a toc/outline.
Map? IMHO, this term clearly indicate that it's a way to locate yourself
in your document. Map == Carte (Geographique) but I guess you know that?
Abdelrazak> Document has its place IMHO. But think a bit more about
Abdelrazak> the View menu please.
What is your definition of the Document menu?
Everything that touch the settings of a document. I even think that most
of the "Document Settings" module should be available as stand-alone
dialogs accessible through the Document Menu.
