Hi John,

Thank you for the comment and the link to CBC, I didn’t know it before. I downloaded it and found that it’s a nice tool as a freeware, but Writing Outliner will be providing more features for writing writers, it’s integrated into, for example, instant full text search through all documents, tagging, viewing images/pdf files right inside Word, true outlining functionality (not just using a tree-view to manage documents), and it’s developed as a really add-in so it will be integrated more deeply into Microsoft Word.

And at the end, it will be providing mind mapping features by tightly integrating with MindVisualizer.
