I described in 14 very specific steps how you can replicate the functionality in Word that is completely missing from both OO and LO. I have known other professional writers who have also been ENTIRELY dependent on the outliner functionality that I described at the following link: <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - "Code folding" for Writer / Collapse or expand parts of a document" href="show_bug.cgi?id=47746#c31">https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47746#c31</a> This particular bug that I'm responding to in this particular comment (not the one in that link) is why, as a professional writer, I would NEVER use either OO or LO. I don't know where my earlier comments went, but my first attempt to describe this bug was in probably in 2014 or earlier. It seems to me that this discussion is still alive because their are other people who also consider both LO and OO to be inferior products because the outlining function doesn't work. The Navigator is entirely inadequate for the functionality that I use every day. Mike Kaganski tried to tell me that as a professional writer, I don't know what I know. But I do. That's why I keep the program on my computer, but never use it. From my point of view, functionality of LO is so bad -- in this one area alone -- that I never open it up. I would use LO ONLY as a last resort. It is that flawed by this one, single lack. For me, there's no value to it until you fix the outliner view that Navigator displays so inadequately.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
