Yup. That'd be the solution. Also, check under Edit->Preferences->Advanced
and set both memory and disk cache to 0 while you are developing documents,
and have Navigator check for an updated copy Always when it loads a new
document. But, restarting Composer is often necessary.
Really, Composer isn't a very good tool for anything but a quick
and dirty Web page--it makes ugly HTML code, isn't stable or
consistent, and makes authors work far harder than they'd
have to work with raw code or other tools.
