  abstract =     "The IGD (Interactive Graphical Documents) hypermedia
                 system was designed to make possible interactive
                 presentations that can be explored by and customized
                 for individual users. We describe IGD's authoring
                 facilities through an annotated excerpt from an editing
                 session, emphasizing how the system's document model
                 and user interface help support the creation of large
                 documents. Although we feel that IGD successfully
                 addressed some of the issues of scale, experience with
                 the system has convinced us that it is wrong to cast
                 many of the problems of authoring large hypertexts as
                 ones that can be solved by implementing editors of
                 sufficient scope and sophistication. We believe that
                 hypertext design systems based on direct editing of
                 documents inherit many of the bottlenecks associated
                 with the conventional document authoring process. These
                 problems are compounded by the added intellectual
                 burden of designing a connective structure of keyworded
                 links. We contrast the reality of the author-centered,
                 editor-based approach to document design and layout,
                 exemplified by IGD, with the promise of a
                 knowledge-based, automated alternative, and discuss why
                 we feel that many of the facilities provided by IGD
                 will still be useful even if presentations can be
                 created entirely automatically.",
