Note that Ubuntu has already announced that they'll be shipping with LibreOffice in the future. I'd expect that the other non-Oracle distros will do the same.

- fluidcruft 16y agoI will use whichever of the two finally closes Issue 3959 first. This is my cathedral vs bazaar gauntlet. May the best model win.
- rquirk 16y agoJust in case anyone else was wondering: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3959 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3959 "Outline View (aka MS Word)".
- fluidcruft 16y agoFor the uninitiated: It's fairly notorious both for the frustration among power MS Office users who try to switch to OOo (personally I find OOo extremely inconvenient to use compared to MS Office specifically for the lack of this feature) and for the OOo developers denial, thickheadedness and mismanagement of the issue (initially due to terminology and communication problems). The issue is over 8 years old now. I am infinitely more productive in MS Office and OOo Writer remains not worth the hassle. At least they've resigned themselves to accepting that OOo doesn't have this feature and ignoring it, rather than constantly insisting that the functionality already exists.
- jdub 16y agoIt's also worth noting that LibreOffice is really just a continuation of the branch which almost all Linux distributions and non-Sun editions of OpenOffice.org have been using for years -- http://go-oo.org/ http://go-oo.org/
