Like many around this issue, the lack of support for the MS Word outline feature
is the single stumbling block to using OO for me and my team. We use the outline
feature as an integral part of our project planning and communication. Through
the outline feature we also integrate our Mind Manager documents and our
Personal Brain Documents - using MS Word outline as the lowest common
denominator in our information organization food chain.

Since many of my friends are OO users, I end up sending them text versions of my
outlines with screen shots of the organization, and request them to use the
Navigator to get the "effect" that I mean to communicate. None of them have been
willing to go through that learning curve, so I end up having to do my work
twice - end result - I do less collaboration with my OO conterparts. It isn't
worth the effort, and I am not willing to give up the advantages in organization
and clarity that the outline feature creates.

I know this is not the purpose/intention, but it is the real world result.  I
revisit OO each year to see if the problem is addressed. Each year, 7 years into
the problem, the answer is no. 

I have no right or basis to complain. I do want the OO community to get the
impact of not integrating this feature.
