Give Google docs an outline view similar to MS Word.
I prefer google docs to MS Word for collaborative development of documents, but I can only see one section of the document I'm working on. This is very frustrating.
I would like to open multiple small sections of the document by expanding sections of an outline. Often I need to refer to multiple related sections in order to ensure they support each other and are not redundant.
The google docs format button already provides 3 levels of heading formats.
Why not provide an outline view similar to MS Word with +/- signs (or other method) for expanding/contracting outline sections at each header.
It would really help me be more productive if I were able to view the entire document at a high level and expand only the sections I wish to work on.
I love google docs! Thank you!

Inappropriate?This feature is the only thing tying me to MS Word. I have come to depend on it and find every other wordprocessor flat and frustrating. I use google docsvery irregularly, but would chang over to it fully if it had outline view.

Inappropriate?Especially now that google notebook is being taken down. A decent outliner would be awesome!

Inappropriate?Amen--I can't find any web-based outline program out there. Sure would help me.

Inappropriate?I definitely concurr. A decent outliner would go a long way towards pushing me to Google docs.
I’m hopeful

I have to admit, http://checkvist.com does look very slick. Tempting. I may give it a try for my GTD documents I want to share with my partner - Projects List, Next Actions, etc., etc... -
Inappropriate?Outline view is my most common format...and the biggest issue stopping me from using google docs more
