Jens,

In the older version (1.1) there is definitely an outline view. You
get there by choosing the Navigator (Edit --> Navigator) and then
clicking the "outline" icon; you can then specify how many
outline/heading levels you want to view, and you're in "outline" mode.

Basically, all of the outline functionality (as far as I know)
requires you to use the Navigator and predefined outline/heading
styles. It is not as intuitive as Word's outline features, but it's
there and it's reasonably serviceable. Perhaps someone more
experienced with OO's outliner will speak up -

I am not yet using the new (2.0 beta) version, but a quick read of the
new features list doesn't seem to indicate any major improvement or
changes in outline functionality.

Best,

Barry
