If you're using Viso on PC or Freehand on the Mac (perhaps some others), you
could create the border of the navs on one layer and the navs themselves on
another, and use these pages as master pages. Then you have the flexibility
to easily flip between pages that show the nav or don't (by showing/hiding
layers), and conduct informal usability tests of the wireframes themselves.
