OO or LO without Outline View does make it an inferior product. I have Office 365 and Office 2016 both, but I love OO and use it for 90+% of my routine writing, like reviews etc. Scrivener is a godsend that is only getting better. If you're a writer and from France you may like oStorybook. Runs on Java and is tricky to install but as good as 95% of the professional "creative writer" software. I did find Organan extension for OO. Looks like it wants to be a Scrivener clone and feels buggy but that is a kind of Outline view work around if folks want to try it. I think I found both on alternativeto.net. (Sourceforge) Back to the real outline view request, I see it is more than a decade old. I know from my programming days that if I wanted to solve a problem with a program I went total OCD and it was fixed in a short period of time. I think that is how Organan extension came to be. I don't expect open source programmers to take my feature request as anything but what it is, a feature request, but I am rather certain the alternative programs to MS Office do want me (us) using their software. Not sure the motivation there but it is obvious they want us using this open source software considering the constant hard work on these projects. For those just at their wits end with this feature request, there are more and more creative online solutions for writing projects. Gingkoapp looks real interesting. Freemind and Mindmup are mindmap programs that can do a lot that resembles the need for outlining and writing. Inspiration Pro, is Mindmup/Freemind on $teroids, but specifically with outlining, still not quite as good as MS Word on that account. Also free (and premium upgrades on some) but perhaps not what folks are looking for, allmynotes, cherrytree, zim, theguide, treepad, to mention a few. They aren't Word substitutes or even OO, LO subs but if you're a creative writer and need to be able to do such things as outlining provides, all these are valuable as well as yWriter. Even Notepad ++ has so many add on features I suspect it could be the solution period. Anyway, if any of these suggestions prove helpful to you it would be nice to hear what is working for you. Not much sense begging OO for another 13 years for a feature they either can't or won't provide. Good luck out there. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the issue.
