because it's still lacking my most needed feature
Severity: normal

Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
I've been writing to you guys since Open Office was first released, because I
need a feature that is entirely required for my work. At the beginning, I
didn't feel comfortable about Bugzilla, so I wrote to OpenOffice through the
website or comments--I don't remember what. When I posted recently, it was
marked as a duplicate and I found some of the other people who also need this
feature.
The feature is LIBRE OFFICE WRITER IS UNUSABLE BY ME AS A PROFESSIONAL WRITER
UNTIL IT HAS A FULLY FUNCTIONAL OUTLINER.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Microsoft Word. Open any document which has headers and paragraphs. A
large document with Headers 1, 2, and 3 would do very well.
2. Click: View>Outliner.
3. In the "Show Outline Level" drop-down box on the Outlining Toolbar, click
"Show Level 1."
4. Notice the button icons in front of all of the Header 1 titles that show up
on the screen.
5. Click one of these button icons using your left mouse button.
6. Hold the mouse button down and drag that header to a new location by moving
it up or down in the document.
7. In the "Show Outline Level" drop-down box, click "Show Level 2."
8. Notice the hierarchy of titles that appears on the screen. Notice that it
looks like the Navigator in LO, and that the Level 2 titles are indented.
9. Within each one of the sections of the document, use the method in step #6
to rearrange the subsections. In other words, click and drag subsections to new
locations anywhere in the section or in the document.
10. Repeat this entire process with Level 3.
11. In the "Show Outline Level" drop-down box, click "Show All Levels."
12. Notice that all paragraphs are now showing.
13. Click the button on the Outline toolbar that has a tool tip that says,
"Show First Line Only." This may be by default to the right of the "Show
Outline Level" drop-down box.
14. Notice that now only one line shows from every paragraph. Notice how this
unclutters the screen.
15. Within each one of these base sections of the document, use the method in
step #6 to rearrange the paragraphs. In other words, click and drag paragraphs
to new locations anywhere in the section or in the document.
16. Try using this system to organize a to-do list, an organization list from
any organization, a brainstorm list, notes from a technical meeting, etc.
17. Do this by creating Level 3 headers. Drag notes from the raw brainstorm
list into the headers. When necessary, collapse individual headers to keep the
screen neat and tidy.
18. When your raw list is completely organized, collapse all header 3s so that
only the header 3s show. Paragraphs no longer show at all. This looks just like
the Navigator in LO.
19 Create Header 2s. Organize all of the Header 3s into Header 2s.
20. Repeat this process to organize all of the Header 2s into Header 1s.
21. Click "Show All Levels."
22. Change the view to Print or Normal.
23. Read through the now perfectly organized document and write the final
version from it.
Current behavior: None of the above.
Expected behavior: All of the above.
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
