JD & olejorik, Surely it's a lot easier to separate out items. I think what Steve meant in his original post is something like this:
Create parent items in the your Outline called 'Page 1', 'Page 2' etc. Set the To-Do list view to group by task parent first. Set To-Do list filter to show All tasks (including complete). Steve, thanks for the tip about AFTM.. I'm trying it out on paper at the moment.. Not sure if I can say goodbye to my To-Do list in MLO but we'll see!
