Re: [opensuse] Writing a small book... what should I use?

Outlining is something I use as well, and sadly its pretty much missing/useless

That is why I am reluctantly still using an old copy of Word 2003 for my
'little books' since the 90's, now with wine on openSUSE. I've been
onto the OOo issues (https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=3959) trail
for many years to get Outlining into the OOo Writer, but no
one seems to want to incorporate it. As you say, what is pointed out to be
outline and navigator is useless for serious work in OOo and its
derivatives.
All capable Outliners are not free or open source. Very few are as good and
easy to use as M$-Word outline mode for non-technical users.



Outlining is in OpenOffice 3.3, but its just not as smooth as it was in 8 year
old Word.
It is not as swift to switch between modes. It does work, but it took a lot of
digging to
get comfortable with it (which I'm still not).
