Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 107464
collapsible outlining
Last modified: 2009-12-06 18:20:21 UTC
I did a search for this enhancement idea and didn't get any hits on the keywords I used, so I am going to assume that no one has suggested this yet. I have a suggestion for an enhancement to OpenOffice Writer. It has to do with outlines, numbered lists and things like that. In other products, some of which seem to be fairly simple programs, so hopefully the coding wouldn't be too hard for OpenOffice. In these products, when you do outlines they are in levels, and you can collapse and expand different levels. So, if you want to see only 1st level entries in the outline, you collapse all levels below level 1. If you only want to see 1st and 2nd levels, you collapse everything below level 2, etc. And they have it set up kind of like where you have a subject or title element and a text element, so that if you only want to see the subject of the entry you can collapse the text entries and hide them, but if you want to see subjects and their text you can do that too. I realize this can be done somewhat with hidden paragraphs, hidden text, whatever. But I like the above type of functionality better and I am sure that there are 1,000's of other users out there that like their outlines like this. Any chance of implementing something like this?
That wish is already tracked in issue 3959. *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 3959 ***
closing, duplicate. Perhaps you vote for issue 3959?
