After reading the comments just posted by drhatch, I feel that I should chime 
in.  I also have used and am forced to use, MSWord.  I have used MSWord's 
outline view many hundreds of times.  I have NEVER opened a document in both 
the outline view and any other view.  I have always switched to the outline 
view only when it was the most efficient view for what I was doing (which is 
either creating an outline or more often reordering sections/subsection).

Again, I have never had outline view open with normal layout view, web 
layout view, print layout view, or reading layout view open at the same 
time.

Initially ALL words were not recognized while using either writer or calc. 
Began adding words... added words were recognized as spelled correctly however,
I have received a dictionary full message and can not add any additional 
words.

Several posters, sba, wernerny, jrlogic, stevepowell99, and most recently nord73
have tried to emphasize the importance of a real outline format for OO.  This
really is not just a nice feature.  I CANNOT use OO at work for well over 90%
of my work because OO is useless at trying to read the Word documents and will
not create .doc files in a fashion that MS Word can understand. Now part of
this is no doubt a template problem but the experimentation that I have done
using MS Word's supplied normal.dot suggests otherwise.

I suspect that at just this one site there are at least 3,000 people with
occasional MS Word use and close to a thousand that use it almost all day every
day. It is a huge disappointment that OO can not handle Word's outline numbering
beyond the first level nor provide a true outline display mode.

Technical procedures, administrative procedures, technical reports, technical
manual, and a host of other documents are all created and edited in outline
format with multiple levels of numbering. At this one laboratory there are
thousands of EACH of these types of documents---none of which can be edited
using OpenOffice!

Every electric power plant in the USA all use these same document types.
Probably most every major business having detailed technical requirements uses
documents of this type and again they are unable to use OO for these documents.

[sw-issues] [Issue 25072] Specification: Cross-Refer ences to Headings

 Provide a convenient means to reference any numbered paragraph.
I think we already covered this point in the current specification - for all
paragraphs, which belongs to a list and have a number on its list level, a
direct cross-reference can be inserted. Does the current specification satisfy
this part of your proposal?

YES IT DOES, THANKS.

 Allow the writer to include additional text with the paragraph number 
 that will show up where the reference is inserted.
What do you exactly mean by include additional text? Should this additional
text be part of the reference field? Or should the cross-referencing dialog
provide an input field for this additional text, which is simple inserted on
performing action Insert chosen reference?

An example:  Usually direct-cross references to numbered paragraphs will insert
a link that displays only the number of the referenced paragraph.  What I would
like to see is an option to add additional text such as paragraph  to link
display.  This capability should be in the requester that is used to choose the
direct-cross reference.  Some choices for such additional optional text could be
in a drop down list within the requester.  Any such additional optional text
typed into the requester by the user should probably be added to the drop down
list.  It would be best if text could be added both before and/or after the
actual link text.

Also, I would like to see the ability to assign aliases (use optional) for the
numbered direct-cross reference links that would display instead of the
line/paragraph/page number.  Again, the additional optional text could be
included with the alias.

 Internally, in the link information keep a copy of the text associated 
 with the paragraph that is the destination for the link.
I don't know, if I understand you correctly. Do you want, that the reference
field should ...

I'll try to explain what capability I would like to see.  My idea for
implementation could quite possibly be the worst way to achieve the goal.  What
I would like if for the program to automagically notify the user if anything
about the referenced text changes so that the user can decide if the link has
become invalid.  In my work I see this problem with astonishing regularity. 
Someone revises a sentence (that happens to be referenced).  The person making
the revision has no indication that the text being revised is referenced
elsewhere in the document.  The reference becomes invalid (because of the
revision) and no one is aware that there might even be a problem.

Everything else that I proposed is related to invalid (logically as well as
physically) link problem.

In terms of tools to aid the document writer, just having a way to display
that references exist to line/paragraph/page/object. Such a display should give
at least the page number where link exists.  At least that way the writer could
read both the location where the direct-reference link was placed and examine
the thing that the link points to in order to ensure that the link is correct.

An important point for me is that there should be a tool menu item that checks
for physically broken links, that is links that don't point anywhere (because
the linked location was deleted).  It is NOT enough that the link shows up in
the text with something like Reference not found.  But even a check for
physically broken links would NOT be enough. A means for the writer to
conveniently check the referenced and referencing text is important.

[sw-issues] [Issue 25072] Specification: Cross-Refer ences to Headings

Background:
Cross referencing is used extensively in a number of different document types in
multiple disciplines. Examples include legal documents, medical documents, and
the entire class of documents called “Technical Procedures,” among others. The
users that are writing and editing these documents have to be able to insert,
check, and edit “links” that exist between portions of text (usually a numbered
paragraph).

For Open Office to be accepted in disciplines where cross referencing is used
extensively support must be convenient and solid.

To my knowledge, none of the existing word processing programs, certainly not MS
Word assist the user in maintaining these links. I believe that an opportunity
exist for open source in general and Open Office specifically to once again show
the power FOSS.

One of the huge problems with direct cross referencing is that as the document
is revised to cross referencing may either break or no longer be correct and no
warning is provided to the editor. To me, this is unacceptable in today's age of
computing power.

Proposal:
Provide a convenient means to reference any numbered paragraph.

Allow the writer to include additional text with the paragraph number that will
show up where the reference is inserted.

Internally, in the link information keep a copy of the text associated with the
paragraph that is the destination for the link.

If a change is made to the destination paragraph then prompt the user to confirm
that the link is still valid

Provide a “remind me later” option

Provide a mean for the user to check all of the links.

This issue is of greater importance than most people would realize.  It is one
problem in the MS compatibility area that prevents using OOo where I work.

I don't know if it is too late to mention this but when the cross-referencing
feature is incorporated it would be of great benefit if the program
automatically prompted the use if the user changes any of the text in the
referenced paragraph to check to see if the cross-reference is invalidated by
the changes.
