--- Comment #206 from Susan Cragin <[email protected]> --- I write documents of around 60,000 words, for which I need three or four levels of subheadings. Drafts are very important. I change constantly. I don't need much formatting. I don't need to insert pictures. And I value words over views. For that, the best outliner is EMACS. A half-day learning its basic functions (with org-mode) is well worth the trouble. People complain that EMACS is hard to learn, but it's not. Together with a great outline, it has simple and intuitive keystroke combinations for moving text around. When I want to print, I need only standard formatting, so it is never a problem for me to cut / paste to an empty OO document with the formatting I require. (TNR 12 and double-spacing.) The only open-source word processor with outlining function is by Kingsoft. This Chinese-sponsored program may well be the wave of the future but right now it is VERY buggy. I don't recommend it. Both sides of this argument are right. There needs to be some program for those of us who produce a lot of words, and right now OO (and LO) is not it, and M$W is shabby at doing it. Apple users draft with OmniOutline, which is a great program but not a word processor. I am in a book-writers group and everyone seems to have an Apple but me. I have Ubuntu Linux. There needs to be an open-source program like OmniOutline, but non-Apple products in general seem to have poor outlining capabilites. There are a half-dozen great ones for Apple.
