I just downloaded Writers Blocks 3 (WB3), and somehow like the modular approach to writing. But at the same time it lacks the outlining facilities.

So I started wondering if a one pane outliner exists, which works with “meanings” which can easily be moved around, much the same way as WB3, also with the graphical metaphor of actual blocks that you move around (even though they could be larger/flexible in size), but at the same time with outlining facilities. I know that you can work with columns in WB3, but that is somehow insufficient in a complex text with several outline levels. And then it should be able to export it to a Word outline.

BTW: I don’t like the “marketing stunt”, that when you download the trial, you have a “special prize for you my friend” offer sent through email, in which you can get a discount of 50 USD off the “regular” price. That is, if you buy it within the 10 days, you have the trial. I just don’t like this kind of pressure. When I get this kind of offers, I always think that well, the REGULAR price is 99 USD, and then they charge 50 USD MORE, if somebody is studpid enough to pay it.
