No matter, if I select a heading using the keyboard or the mouse: ALT+SHIFT+UP/DOWN moves the heading one paragraph up or down. Only the heading, not the heading plus the text below.

@Jon: ALT+SHIFT+UP/DOWN is the "move paragraph" command. And they mean PARAGRAPH.
In Word, I can move a headline plus the text underneath in the outline view. In Textmaker only the headline is moved,...
