Randy,

Sorry for the confusion. We agree -- collapsable outlining as a UI feature
would be very, very nice to have as a post-1.0 feature in AbiWord.

PS: Are you blurring styles and templates? A template is a read-only
document containing style definitions and/or other standard content. More
recent UIs for WPs allow you to extract style definitions from another
document or template, but they're still different critters.
