The way we currently handle document/screen review is confusing for some users. It also makes object navigation and document/screen review tedious to use simultaneously; e.g. navigating to an object and moving to that position in document/screen review or vice versa.

An alternative (perhaps better) approach is to separate review into three moes:

1. Object: Reviews just the current object. This is what we do most of the time.
2. Document: Flat review of the document. Currently, this is what happens when the navigator object is a browse mode or compound document.
3. Screen: Flat review of the screen using display model. Currently, this is what happens when the navigator object is a window object. This is usually done with the move to flat review command outside of a document.

Advantages:

• This approach is probably easier for users to understand.
• It allows the navigator object to be moved without changing the scope of review. For example, if you move the navigator object while in document review, it will move the review cursor to the appropriate point within the document, but the review cursor can still move around the entire document.
• It allows for the ability to lock screen review, which some users seem to want. This is outside the scope of this ticket, but it's worth mentioning as a possibility.

can we come up with a better term than "review mode"? "Review scope" makes more sense, but might be confusing for many users. Or is it okay?
