--- Comment #13 from Cougar Brenneman <[email protected]> --- I have to say that I'm not certain that my proposals are sufficient. As I review them, I see that I sometimes need to see entire text paragraphs in outliner mode, and while I speculated that I could achieve similar functionality with my first two suggestions, I see that as a cumbersome alternative to what Word does in a single view. In addition, it would be "making do," rather than having a superior alternative or even an equal alternative. The ability to display the first line of the paragraphs or the full paragraphs in the navigator begins to make it look more and more like it really needs to look. To be less cumbersome, text edits in the Navigator would also need to be available. I'm sorry that the Navigator is so insufficient, but it really is. I have tried, in my version, to write a complete, procedural description of what I do, because I was hoping that if I did so, the programmer community would understand the reasons. I'm not sure that this has happened. While I've seen one comment that sees the similarity with code folding, a possibly useful metaphor, it only captures a tiny piece of the power of the outliner function. I fear that the programmer community in this development project doesn't really understand the needs of the user community, and I don't know if you can, given the different nature of our disciplines. The outliner function is powerful because it a tool that so fully supports the creative process, based on what we do with our minds while creating and organizing. It's not about formatting or any of the other false understanding about its function that I've seen. These are not enhancements, but basic features that are needed. LO is a substandard tool until it has these features, in terms of my own needs. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
