- Ric,
-
- I think the difficulty he has is the same one I had.
- One expects to be able to create an outline before
- the finished document. Most people create outlines first
- then flesh out the outline to create a finished document.
- You "outline" tool might be more properly called a "summary"
- or extract. If you have ever seen the product FLOW by
- New Horizons software then you know whta I am talking about.
