Hi folks,

I have been learning a lot of things about how you folks using outliner software in this forum, thank you!

I’m developing Writing Outliner Word addin, the initial idea was to turn Word into a all-in-one software, but I soon realized it can also turn Word into a powerful outliner software. Why?

1. Each node of the left outline pane is linked to a single Word document, you select a node and the linked word document is loaded and ready for editing.
2. For each outline node you can further add notes, tags and icons.
3. It supports advanced full text search (much like Google ;) into all documents in the project.
4. Tabbed-editing word documents, that means editing multiple documents at the same time.

I have just blogged about it, a lot of new Screenshots, and you might be interested in viewing these new Screenshots and hopefully you can give me some advises from an outliner software’s perspective!
