Listerene,
Very informative. Do you happen to know why the education market hasn't sufficed to incentivize the development of Inspiration?
Jeffery Smith,
What do you use on the Mac? OmniOutliner? How would you rate the defunct NoteMap compared to OmniOutliner?
The best outline processor for writing on Windows today, it seems to me, is ...

It doesn't sound to me like a question of whether the developer is providing sufficient bang for the buck. It's a question of whether (at the risk of sounding legalistic, which isn't my intent), he br...
MaxThink doesn't run on Windows 10. At least I can't get it to.

Hi Adrian,
Have you considered these two features: 1) multiple selection of items (to aid reorganization); and 2) Undo (preferably unlimited but 10 or 20 would suffice for me).

Seemingly a very generous offer I intended to take advantage of. A free license might motivate me to figure the program out.
But, Pierre, your procedures are as obtuse as your writing style. In obtai...

Washere,
My understanding is that two-pane outliners predominate because Windows has built-in r...

It could benefit from a place for notes, but why necessarily a second pane. Why not someth...
I, for one, don't object to charging a premium price based partly on the strength of the underlying concept. The idea of making a brainstorming tool very compelling visually is, I think, sound. My fav...

Pierre,
I'm trying to understand what's difficult to understand. Are you familiar with Microsoft Word's outline view, where you can enter text either as body text or as a heading?

By way of further background, my go-to outline processor has for several years been NoteMap. It had a feature set similar to Inspiration. It had a minimal implementation of body text but a better impl...

Not much has changed. In 2012, Steve Zeoli published a review of OneNote and leading contenders. Although his criteria weren't identical to mine (for example, Steve didn't see inline text as a core fe...

> So the answer is yes, the body can be in sub-items and / or in the Doc pane.
But I want it to be in the outline pane but *not* as an item. (Like in Word, Inspiration, and UV.) InfoQube gets the di...

Paul,
Your revised instructions include, "When writing you document, you are free to put content in a hierarchy or items and / or in the Doc pane."
That would seem to say that when writing your docu...

The procedure described creates a printed outline with a topic/text distinction. But not, as far as I can tell, to actually compose the outline with that distinction showing. (That is, the equivalent ...

I don't disparage two-pane outliners. Obviously, people generally find them more useful. If I were writing a "highly structured text," I would probably choose one. But fore me a book is basically an e...

Franz,
Simple outliner, but I wouldn't spurn a general writing environment if it contained an adequate outliner, for example, Word if it had unlimited levels and hoist.
