I don't know how many of you have ever used WordPerfect's built in outlining, but let me tell you, it's fast and sweet. Tab to go down a level (e.g. I. to A. to 1.) shift+tab to go up. I guess I could stand slightly different keys. My word processor of choice is currently AbiWord, I think (Windows). If I could integrate with AbiWord or if a newer version has it (I have 2.6.4), that would be great.

Know of anything like that?

Edit 10/2: free would be great.

I haven't seen how good WordPerfect's outlining is, but to use outlining mode in OpenOffice.org, navigate to Edit -> Navigator from the menu. Works very well from my perspective. OOo is free and open source software.

Hmmm, maybe I'll have to grab a recent installer for OpenOffice. I've used it before (Win and Linux). – Nathaniel Sep 21 '09 at 0:30

the only thing NOT overrated with OOo is the price, but that's just my opinion. i've tried it every now n then, but never grew fond of it. – Molly7244 Sep 21 '09 at 1:03
Ah, forgot about this. If I don't get another better answer after a while, I'll check this. – Nathaniel Oct 2 '09 at 22:24
Finally got a new OpenOffice installer. Looks like it's going to be more like I'm used to - handy. Thanks. – Nathaniel Oct 14 '09 at 22:28

I'm using Jarte Plus. Auto Outline actually was one of the reasons why I paid the €13 they're asking for the 'upgrade'. Brilliant little word processor, even the free version. Insanely fast at an incredibly low footprint (even with massive documents). Customizable 'Clickless Operation' is one of my favorite features.

Jarte supports DOCX and is portable.
