Thanks for that. I now suspect that I may have hit a bug in OO. Try 
the following:

	1. Make a new document in OO.
	2. Run the following script.

tell first document of application "OmniOutliner"
         set theRow to make new row at end of rows
         indent theRow
         set value of cell 2 of theRow to "hi there"
end tell

I get an error at the 'set value' instruction.

	3. Now switch the order of the 'set value' and 'indent'
	   instructions in the script. This time, the error occurs
	   at the 'indent'.
	4. Now comment out the 'indent': the script runs fine.
	5. Uncomment the 'indent' and comment out the 'set'. Again,
	   the script runs fine.

Unless I'm being more than usually bone-headed, something is not 
right here. This is on OO 2.2.1 beta - I haven't tried on the release 
version.
