Hi,
I have been dabling with an outline mode for kword.
After a lot of trial and even more errors it starts to look like
it could become something usefull. Before I put more effort into
this though, I would like some feedback to see if I am on the right
track or not.
First, is someone else working on the same thing, or
is there some reason this should not be done? (now, ever)

My intention is to use headings as markers, so that it is possible
to hide/show text 'below' a heading (more/less as msword). 
I think it should be possible to handle text and all types of 
_inline_ frames this way, with a possible exception of object frames?
I have no idea how to handle fixed frames, headers, footers etc except
hide them in outline mode. Anyone?
Footnotes? Don't know.

This would IMHO constitute a basic (but usefull) function.
Future extensions I can think of is to handle references (links)
to same or other document in the same way as a heading.

This viewmode is a bit more komplex than the existing as it needs to 
handle key press events, mouse press events, RMB menu extension, ...
which means that the viewmode interface needs to be extended.
Is this ok or are there better ways?

Greetings,
Dag
