<pre>Firstly, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Raykowski and others who
have added outlining features. It's one of the most useful improvements to
LibreOffice Writer ever.
Secondly, I support this feature enhancement request so that the full power of
outlining can be exploited. I sometimes use outlining in the way that Mr
Brenneman describes, with the headers as temporary scaffolding. More often, I
keep the headers in the final presentation version. But in both cases I want to
be able to move body (non-header) paragraphs around quickly and easily as the
structure of the argument evolves. It would definitely be a Quality-of-Life
improvement if I could just click on something like an anchor point (where the
open/collapse button appears for headers) and grab the whole paragraph in order
to drag it elsewhere.
Dieter's option of selecting, cutting, and pasting text is how I work now (when
Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down is not feasible), but it requires more clicks and it's often
fiddly.
As discussed in <a class="bz_bug_link

title="CLOSED FIXED - Add an Outline View layout and editing mode to Writer"
href="show_bug.cgi?id=38093">bug 38093</a>, this behaviour should only be available in Outline
View to avoid confusing users who are not used to outlining.</pre>
