And you can even construct a 3-pane outliner out of O4D, using this method. The left pane is “Titles only” view; the middle pane is “Summary” view with first line of content showing, and the right pane is in “Timeline view” with “Fit to view (Ctrl+3)” on, only showing one item in focus.

Okay, I’ll promise to stop now. It’s just that I’ve been really impressed with O4D as a writing-focused outlining tool. It was one of the first software for which I’ve read the manual cover-to-cover, yet I’m still discovering new (and useful) visualisations.
