One more thing I forgot to mention: I'm not sure, but from your description is sounds as if you may want topics and note text to show up without hierarchical indentation in the so-called "Document Vie...

Alas, that version is at least three years old. See:

UV Outliner Now Supports Columns

I was going to mention Ecco Pro as well, but then it occurred to me that in certain narrowly technical sense, Daly's point about UV Outliner is correct, because Ecco Pro has more than one pane. Of cou...

Microsoft Word Outlines
1/20/2010
For the record, since moritz listed some of the major outlining features that Word lacks, there is also the limit of nine outline levels. As I wrote in October:
Unlike dedicated outliners, Microsoft ...
This sale has been going for a couple months but according to the website "will only be available until January 15, 2010." They are offering Flying Logic Pro for $79 instead of $149. In my experience ...
Inspiration 9 has been released
12/29/2009
Correction: Actually the most significant new feature is the new map view. You can now create true mind maps (instead of just diagrams) and switch back and forth between the map and the outline. I may...
Inspiration 9 has been released
12/29/2009
The new version of Inspiration was released yesterday. It's available for Mac and Windows. Evidently high schools remain the major customer base, so the software continues to be geared in that directi...

Hi Jim,
I also tried to get Buzz running at one point without any luck. (My geek skills are pretty limited.)
If you're looding mainly for good import and export capabilities, I would imagine there ...
ThinkSheet

Alexander: Sorry about that---I just fixed the sharing permissions, so the link should work now (let me know if it doesn't).
Thanks for letting me know.
ThinkSheet
12/5/2009
In case anyone tries out ThinkSheet, I should just mention one oddity: When exporting to a word processor with default settings, sub-notes seem to get converted into a 1pt font size, making the text l...
ThinkSheet

Here's a nice, little-known gem I came across during a recent bout of outliner searching:

Heads up re Outliner vote @ Lifehacker
12/4/2009
Just an FYI --
Lifehacker is running a "hive five" poll on best outliners. So, for those idealists out there who believe that voting is a civic duty---you might want to head over and make your voice ...
New Outliner for Windows
10/30/2009
Hi Jon,
There are many advantages to using a dedicated tool like UV Outliner. I'll start off by just mentioning the one difference that I think is most critical: Unlike dedicated outliners, Microsoft...
Since this topic began with Peter's comment about the lack of aesthetic appeal of ConnectText (CT), I'll comment briefly.
I have been using CT for a couple weeks now. I just made a comment in the ot...
Dr Andus,
Thanks for describing your setup. The distinction between creating the meat and creating the outline is useful. I actually find it easiest to generate text hierarchically to begin with (in ...
Hi Peter,
Sorry for the delayed response. My academic workflow is far less worked out than you might have guessed---i'm still trying to come up with a workable system. In fact, I decided finally to t...
Hi again Peter,
Yes, I've heard good things about ATLAS.ti -- clearly useful for processing field notes and the like.
Since I don't think it's been mentioned yet in this thread, I'll just mention o...

Since I mentioned in my reply to Peter my evolving method for outlining in MS Word, I thought I would post a screenshot of it. What I do is set all the heading styles to normal text (with first line i...
