And Word's model for outlines may NOT be the one that we want
to take - in fact, I would suggest that it is NOT the way we want to
go.
Word's idea of an outline is more of an alternative view of a
document, rather than a section of a document that can be
edited/viewing in an outline (hierarchical list) structure. Both
have their place, but they are VERY different. The latter, which Abi
does, is IMO, more useful.
