Sense editor vs Writing Outliner

In summary, I think that they are two very different beasts:

- Writing Outliner is in its own words, a tool for “writing book-length documents in MS Word”. Each node in a WO project is a different Word document. See here http://writingoutliner.com/writing-software/blog/tag/mind-map/ for WO’s positioning as described by its developer.

- By contrast, Sense provides excellent micro-editing functionality without losing the perspective: e.g. each paragraph in the (right) editing pane is represented in the (left) content explorer.

In the ideal world, I would use Writing Outliner to organise a major book project, and Sense to maintain structure and flow at the chapter level. However, in both programs I miss interconnectivity: in Sense an easy way to export to Word in proper formatting, and in WO an easy way to import an existing structure.
