Ditto. And I’ve been using Word for Windows on the PC, and finding the same thing. That, aside from the funkiness and inelegance, there’s a lot of really neat things you can do with the Word outliner.

Templates are cool (and MORE-like). Making a special template for the outline view is especially cool. Especially once you’ve tried working in the really UGLY template that Microsoft gives you. There’s a good outline template on my home page for your personal consumption (http://www.technography.com).

And DID YOU KNOW that you can “send” your outline directly to PowerPoint (at least on the PC)? Now all they have to do is add a decent tree chart maker and we can at last have a pale echo of a Windows version of MORE.
