Well, happy 8th birthday bug 3959..  :-(

I personally think a multiview concept is overkill - nice to have, but not worth
keeping up a resolution for.

The last MSO I bought was 2003, and I'm still using it.  This has, however, a
FAR better outliner in Powerpoint than it has in Word, and I would personally
prefer that model.

I think the demand originates in two separate quarters:

- Original writers that write from scratch.  I always pop up Powerpoint or
Freemind and draw an initial structure before I let myself loose, as the
structure makes or breaks the document in terms of clarity and accessibility.

- Editors and template based workers.  For them outline is a navigational tool,
but even there the Navigator isn't enough as it  doesn't support manipulation of
that structure.

However, please avoid overkill.  The feature is for most people I know to work
with documents an absolutely critical component to do their work.  Without it,
there is no chance OpenOffice will ever make it into the corporate environment.
 As a matter of fact, it's the reason I still use (old) MS Office..
