I tried putting three headings at different levels, and while there is no drag and drop capabilities, the ability to use the arrows in the navigator to move different headers -- and their children and grandchildren begins to demonstrate some of what I want. Let me explain one use case that this build doesn't support at this time. First, I can't move text using the navigator without moving the title which contains it. When I'm preparing a document, I often brainstorm many different paragraphs of text, and then in Word's Outliner, I drag them and drop them in different headings. Your text lines are absolutely married to the headings that they are under. Thus, the only way I could move individual text paragraphs is to give each one a heading, move them into their proper categories, and then delete the headings — which were only there to facilitate the use of the buttons in the navigator to move them into their proper locations. For me as a writer, this is not flexible enough and it is quite inconvenient. It should be possible to move individual paragraphs without giving them a title, first. Second, in an earlier post by one of the developers here (maybe two months ago?), there was a discussion of putting little bullets or icons in front of paragraphs when you click them, and I believe that it was possible to use those icons to drag the paragraphs separately. If someone developed this capability, it should be merged into the trunk for a future build. If you can do that, then you'll have a lot more of what I need. Sorry, I'm a COVID survivor and while I was sick, it compromised my memory. I'm not sure exactly when I read that in this discussion. My mental abilities seem to be back, but not my physical capabilities. I'm still feeble.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
