Word outline export?

[Rachel Cobleigh]

Thanks for your help guys. I just have a couple of questions, though.

While I can open my OOutline file in Word's outline view, in Word the
outline isn't *really* an outline: all the indentation formatting gets
flattened out because the outline levels are just treated as headings,
not an actual outline, in the normal view of the document. If I want
to edit the outline in Word (because there's no Outliner implemented
for Windows, for example) and then import the changed document back
into OO, I can't really. Since Word has removed all of the tab
characters, OO imports the document as a list with all the items at
the top level.

Basically, I'm forced to use Windows at work for meetings and I'm
trying to find some way to keep using OO on my preferred machine
(i.e., a Mac) without major headaches when transferring between the
two platforms.
