Just to help emphasise the importance of outline view.

I used outline mode in ms word intensively to write both my graduation and
doctoral thesis. It is a valuable tool to jot and organize the ideas that will
eventually become sections and paragraphs. The ability to promote and demote
text, to collapse sections and to drag whole sections and paragraphs easily all
over the document is a very valuable composition feature. I does seem like a
mind mapping tool for your document.

I switched to OpenOffice and have been using it almost exclusively for the last
8 years and this is a feature I miss every time I have to write a document with
more than a couple of sections or paragraphs. Without it, it feels like I have
to write a document linearly, having to decide a priori the final structure of
the document.
