Retrospective outlining

I can’t wait to try this!

I bought CT but can’t seem to get into it regularly.
The markup and “edit mode” slows me down quite a bit.
I end up fussing with editing more than just letting my ideas flow like I do in Brainstorm.
Not giving up yet though…

>Well, I have just trialled the forthcoming version of CT (I think it will be
>5.0.0.11) and Eduardo had not only resolved the above issue but he turned the Table of
>Contents (TOC) pane into a proper real-time, live outliner. This means that as you
>type in the edit window, the TOC now automatically displays the developing outline
>(the hierarchical structure of headings 5 level deep). No need to switch from “edit”
>to “view” (or hit “save”) in order to update the TOC. The outline (or parts of it) will
>now stay collapsed or expanded, regardless of the length of the outline.
>Brilliant!!
> >The added bonus for me is that I also use the TOC as a qualitative
>analysis tool for annotating long texts (a process similar to “reverse outlining”),
>and that now happens live too.
> >So if I said that “CT was not quite there yet,” now it’s
>definitely there and probably beyond :) Thanks Eduardo!
