There seem to be too different needs here: a notes database + an outliner. Do these need to be served by a single piece of software or could two specialist software do the job of each? E.g. there are now software where you can link from one to the other and back.

It might be worth to try to copy and paste into various outliners, or try out all their import options, to see if indents are preserved (e.g. Noteliner, WorkFlowy, Freeplane, Natara Bonsai (if you can get hold of it) or even MS Word’s bullet point list). If you can convert the outline into an .RTF document (or first into MS Word .docx and then as .rtf), then you could also try to import it into Outline 4D, which can convert it back into an outline.

Another option is to try a different a/v software (or somehow make it ignore Clarisworks).
