Steve, in between Grandview and Ecco Pro, I used MS Word as my outliner. Outline levels appeared in the usual tree-like fashion in “outline view”, with levels distinguished by degrees of indentation. In document view, the indentation is replaced by different formatting for the different headline levels.
But attached to any outline item/heading, you could have “body text”. It appeared inline in “outline view”.
So maybe to this extent MS Word would give you the inline “mini-document” that you like ... but I don’t think you could edit it in a separate window as in Grandview.

forgot to say ... while in “outline view” the “body text” has rudimentary formatting, you can switch to “document view” and apply all the formatting you want. But in document view the “body text” is not isolated from other parts of the document, as in Grandview.
