@Franz,

Thanks for the comment. With great respect, I have clearly stated in the first post of my Writing Outliner blog that Writing Outliner was mostly inspired by Scrivener for Mac, when Scrivener has only a Mac version. Actually, I even have had an email exchange with the developer of Scrivener, Keith, he's nice and he appreciate I was frank :)

Writing Outliner it's not a 1:1 clone of Scrivener, what makes it different is that it's built-on top of/seamlessly integrated into MS Word (so that you can utilize all it's powerful functions). On the topic of "original", the respectable developer of Scrivener, Keith, he also has ever said that he was inspired by other programs.

@moritz,
Thanks!
