I’m experimenting with BrainStorm, and find it quite pleasurable to work with. However, here we go again: how do I get the stuff from BrainStorm to Word? It indents the items with tab-marks, can I somehow make Word interpret these tabmarks as levels in an outline?

It actually works by going through the html (without java-thing), ie exporting to HTML, and then importing the html-file in Word. In word, then, I get the Heading x styles. It seems to start at level 3, but that is easy to find and replace.

Hopefully, by time, all outliners and the like will be able to speak OPML.

I might get to like BrainStorm, indeed. It’s nice that it constraints the view to the item you work on right now. And the keyboard shortcuts (even there are loads of them, according to the help file) seem quite intuitive to use.

I didn’t quite get the wisdom of Ctrl-T. Could somebody explain to me, what the idea behind that functionality is?

Regards,
Peter.
