The ‘series’ has started as a veritable tour de force and holds great promise for future installments! Bravo Steve, I hope that your posts will be for Windows what ATPO was for the Mac world.

A couple of comments / suggestions:

- My first idea was to propose that you include Sense, which I believe is currently the most powerful Windows outliner. I must say that the learning curve can be considerable, so maybe this rules it out.

- It might also make sense to include Microsoft’s own Powerpoint; I know that at least one contributor in this forum recommends it for brainstorming and I must say that I have often used it with good results when there has been nothing else around.

- Re features, I will agree with Cassius; I find importing important (pun not intended). Most significantly however, for your own criteria, export should include tab indented text in addition to OPML. I am under the impression that UV outliner’s text export maintains the hierarchy. Unfortunately, I am unable to test it, as I am out of office and working on a Linux notebook these days.
