Suggestion 2: (Which is what I originally started out trying to find

A Outline view for editing in Write.
Many people work with documents as outlines, or as cut and paste
documents. I do this quite a bit.
I will slam down a bunch of paragraphs or headings of items I want to
write about, then as the document fleshes out, I want to then organize
the document into its final form. This is done in Office using the
Outline view. As I see it, OO does allow one to prepare an outline
type of document, but it does not "own" the paragraphs that are at any
given level. One can build the document in Write and then export it to
Impress, where one can drag headings to promote or demote them, and
rearrange them. Paragraphs do get dragged around too. Unfortunately,
this process is not reversible. The outline cannot be returned to
Write, nor will the manipulations be possible in Write itself. The
lack of this mode in OO is going to be significant to many end users.
In my case, I ended up going out and buying the Home and Student
version of MS Office just to get around this frustration.
First information about your request:
To implement such an outline view in OpenOffice.org Writer is an already
known issue. It has been requested several times. Due to limited
resources it had not been implemented yet.
All: reading his suggestion, it seems that he does not know the Navigator.
Jim: please press F5, and also look in the Help for Navigator. I think
it offers what you ask.
Regards,
Cor
