--- Comment #13 from C <clive at infotelesys.com> ---
Any reasonably advanced document is extraordinarily enhanced when an author has
an easily collapsible and expandable outline view such as that provided by
Microsoft Word.

This feature has probably been the most requested feature in OpenOffice /
LibreOffice over the many years it has been asked for.

The Navigator feature is no replacement for a in-document collapsible outline
feature as in Microsoft Office and other packages.

Using a hidden text expression defined through a complex and laborious process
for each specified paragraph or section in Write, is certainly no answer. Point
and collapse/expand hierarchies with a click of the mouse is the only way to do
it.

What is interesting is OpenOffice/LibreOffice Impress, impressively does have a
collapsible outline feature, however, it does not hide regular text. Calc has
foldable rows, to hide rows.

Can the code from Impress or Calc be modified to provide collapsible
hierarchies in Write in the form of foldable text?

Clearly the OpenOffice / LibreOffice developers are hugely retarded in this
most basic understanding of writing complex documents, or the Write team do not
have the technical skills to implement it. Perhaps the Impress and Calc teams
have the skills?

One certainly can not complain in regard to opensource software, since the
programmers have donated their time and effort for the good of all. However,
those of us in the opensource field, are often vastly superior to paid
programmers. Let’s try keep it that way.

Much thanks to the OpenOffice / LibreOffice teams!!!
