I’ve been using OneNote lately, and although the outlining is rather cumbersome (I’ve improved it some by defining some custom hotkeys associated with toolbar buttons) I did realize today that I can have a table in OneNote and can have outlines in each column, separately expandable and collapsible. There are times I need to review documents and take notes on each paragraph. I can have the original paragraphs in one column and the notes in another column, as an outline. I did something like this in Ecco using parallel views but it got tedious to have separate notepads, and also, in Ecco, you can only have 2 parallel views that get displayed side by side.
I can envision, for some applications, using tables with mini outlines in table cells in OneNote. Then I can collapse text that I don’t care to see, but I can use the layout of a table to organize related information.
