--- Comment #261 from Scott Kallen <[email protected]> --- (In reply to ther from comment #257) > If you have the flexibility of mind to change from m$, you should have > similar mental flexibility to adjust away from the m$ concept of outline > view. At issue is not whether or not we can use some alternate method of doing outlines. It's that while m$ Word has many faults, it does this one thing extremely efficiently and well. The ease of use of the Outline view is, in my opinion, second to none. You sound like Steve Jobs when people complained about the faulty antenna years back, and his answer was "You're holding it wrong." You comment indicates I should just change the way I want to work because OO doesn't support it. If that's not the cart before the horse, I don't know what is. > Easily achievable in many text editors such as jedit, or mind map such as > freeplane. > > You can achieve outline function in jedit, use version control and make > final formatting in writer by simple copy of text from text editor to writer. Really? That's your proposed solution? This is a forum for Open Office not jedit or some other Rube-Goldbergesque workflow. No one is debating whether or not you can do all sorts of things to create an outline and stuff it into Writer. This thread is begging for a clean, straightforward and easy-to-use Outline mode. We all cite Microsoft (oh, sorry, I forgot to be pegorative) M$ Word not because we love M$ or Word. But because that particular feature of Word seems to be one of the best, if not the best, implementation of an outliner integrated seamlessly into a powerful Word Processor. This is what those of us voting for this *ALL* want to see. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
