Hello,
So, OOo 3.0 is up for release in a month or so. I was wondering if
anybody has been reviewing it as its betas are released. I am most
interested to know progress on the following.
........
3. Mode similar to the outline mode in MS Office.
The Outline functionality in OOo like M$ Outline is not the same as the
navigator, not even close. I have been using outlining for the last 10
years, and know how it works. I have gone back to M$-Office with a sore
heart (M$Word 2000 in Wine, & M$-Word 2007 in VirtualBox). OOo just does
not have this ability, and has been on the cards for the last few (6 ?)
years.

Predictions are hard to achieve, especially it they are about the future. ;-)
Since several months we are working on the multiple layout refactoring. The work
in Writer was done, but unfortunately now we are stuck in the Drawing Layer. We
have even refactored this part except for two kinds of objects: grouped objects
and form controls. While we are confident to fix the problems for the grouped
objects in the next few weeks, we ran into serious problems with the form
controls. We are depending on the work of others here that do their very best
but can't give an estimation when they will finish the work.
Nevertheless, I hope that we will fix that in the 3.0 release.
