Pictures of Words and pages outline views
This request is in response to:
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/21498/feature-request-outline-view-in-writer/
and
http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/20630/will-writer-ever-provide-ms-word-style-outlining-not-navigator/
Ok just to be clear writers Navigator is the equivalent to Pages/Words
Inspector these are not the same as outline view.
Outline view displays the entire document as a outline with sections and
subsections. I understand that navigator provides the most basic of text
folding but this is actually only a small part of outlining.
Here are some use cases for outlining:
Note taking:
Student taking notes in class you start with the main section and add
subsections with a simple return then tab press. This allows for very fast note
taking and organization.
Legal documents:
Most legal documents are organized in a hierarchy with outlining it is insanely
easier to keep the document properly organized as well as properly formatted.
Manuscripts:
Chapters, sections, paragraphs yup pretty much just a huge outline.
Academic Papers:
Writing research paper is a very long process and being able to visually see
how the paper and you notes are organized is a huge benefit.
ok now again I know navigator kind of does this but it's a lot easier when it's
wysiwyg in the document.
Real and complete integration. Outline view is completely integrated with
styles, numbering, lists, biography, table of contents, etc. Any change in the
outline updates all of these.
I have attached a few picture of both word and pages.
