[Libreoffice-ux-advise] [Bug 38093] Add an Outline View layout and editing mode to Writer

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38093

--- Comment #41 from Cougar Brenneman <cougar.b@gmail.com> ---
I just wrote a response to a similar bug that describes in a very precise or
procedural way what I can't ever do in either OO or LO. I described in 14 very
specific steps how you can replicate the functionality in Word that is
completely missing from both OO and LO. I have known other professional writers
who have also been ENTIRELY dependent on the outliner functionality that I
described at the following link:

This particular bug that I'm responding to in this particular comment (not the
one in that link) is why, as a professional writer, I would NEVER use either OO
or LO. 

I don't know where my earlier comments went, but my first attempt to describe
this bug was in probably in 2014 or earlier. It seems to me that this
discussion is still alive because their are other people who also consider both
LO and OO to be inferior products because the outlining function doesn't work.

The Navigator is entirely inadequate for the functionality that I use every
day. 

Mike Kaganski tried to tell me that as a professional writer, I don't know what
I know. But I do. That's why I keep the program on my computer, but never use
it. From my point of view, functionality of LO is so bad -- in this one area
alone -- that I never open it up. I would use LO ONLY as a last resort. It is
that flawed by this one, single lack.

For me, there's no value to it until you fix the outliner view that Navigator
displays so inadequately.
