--- Comment #11 from Cougar Brenneman <[email protected]> --- I've been avoiding LibreOffice because of the outliner problem, but I needed to find out of my Excel formulas would still work in LO, and they do. Since I had to install LO anyway, I decided to play with the Navigator in Writer to see if I can be more specific about what I need. Here are three changes that would make it come closer: 1) Create an option so that the Navigator displays the first line ONLY of every text body paragraph, so that all paragraphs can be dragged into the headings desired, and then hidden or displayed as needed. 2) Create a full-screen option for the navigator, and when the navigator is in full-screen mode, disable the modal property so that the user can switch between the full outline view in Navigator and the text view with a button, alt-tab, or cmd-tab. Create a button or menu item in the main window to bring the Navigator to the front and restore its modal property if the user loses track of where it is. 3) Create a method such that headings in the Navigator can be sorted using the sort function. Currently, this is impossible because you cannot select multiple headings. I need to be able to insert a date, for example, at the beginning of a bunch of different sub-headings, drop these subheadings into headings, and then sort them by date, all the time taking all of their children (whether text paragraphs of subheadings) with them. I need to be able to sort on multiple outline levels, sometimes numerically, sometimes by date, and sometimes alphabetically. This is important, because when I'm in outline mode in word, much of my work is using the outline view to sort text that has no headings. Currently, my inability to use LO to manipulate nonheader paragraphs is a deal killer. I could never use LO until this feature is present. The sort problem is also a deal killer. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
