--- Comment #36 from Ernesto Bosch <ernesto.bo...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Cougar Brenneman from comment #32) (In reply to comment #28) Cougar Brenneman said: "For anyone who knows how to use an outliner, it quickly becomes essential. For the rest of the population, there's no demand because they've never tried it. My guess is that includes many of the LO and OO developers." "Hey, people! We don't want a faster horse! We want a car!" As a college teacher for 25 years (since Ms Word DOS version) I found Ms Word outlining an outstanding feature for any scientific/technical writer, and as a science teacher I want my students be able to write good scientific/technical papers. However, students don't no how to accomplish that, so I explain to them what an outline is. But outline is just half of the story because along side outline it's needed the ability to EDIT the outline itself, AT THIS POINT MS WORD IS CLEARLY SUPERIOR TO LIBRE WRITER. I can tell that because I've been using navigator window since middle of 90's when Libre Writer was known as StarOffice Writer. It is NOT the same. As james lowerdew said (comment, #232) "Free software that only half replaces paid software is actually aiding it's paid competitors." I can testify that: I want to push students to move to Libre Office Writer but as soon as they find Ms Word outline they pull back to Ms Word because of its outline editing capability. LIBRE OFFICE USERS COMMUNITY NEEDS AN OUTLINE VIEW WITH IN IT EDITING CAPABILITY, although they don't know their needs yet. We want a car no a faster horse!!! If we want to promote open software as LibreOffice. Thanks -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
