Outlining tool recommendations

[Deanna Korth <deanna -dot- korth -at- wausaufs -dot- com>]

Hi,

I’ve been assigned an extremely large project (compared to what I usually do). I estimate that there will easily be over 1000 topics and maybe many more, and I need to write an outline. I want to be able to move topics around easily as groups and promote or demote levels of groups of topics. I want to be able to expand or collapse topics.

Can you recommend any powerful outlining tools that feature these capabilities? I’m open as to cost--I’ll write a business case for the purchase of a new tool if necessary.

Word scares me in that I’ve heard horror stories about it “helpfully” renumbering outlines in some way other than you intended when you move content around.

Thanks,

Deanna.
