Re: [libreoffice-users] Outline woes

Hi Andy,

OOo and derivatives like LO cannot do outlining. What LO does is an 
outline formatting with the Navigator, which is useless for outlining. 
Those who use outlining intensively will confirm that (see link below).

It has been an issue for more than 10 years now. Use a real outliner; I 
use "Pages '09" (cost about 14,95 Euro) on Mac. M$ also has outliners, 
but they cost more than double that of Pages. There are also some 
open-source outliners. Most of them export the finished documents into 
all word processor file types for the final formatting and printing. For 
more information see issue "Outline View (aka MS Word)": 
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959.

I hope LO developers have another attitude to this show-stopper for most 
advanced and technical writers needing an outliner in LO. Otherwise we 
outliner users will not be able to use LO any more.
