What Else Does OO3 Have?

One of the "features" I didn't like about OO2 was it's (be honest)
lousy print engine. Basically, there was none -- you had the basic Mac
engine, print all or nothing, no options. I was used to More 3.1's
excellent engine, which is one of the two best I've ever used (fyi,
Nisus Writer OS<9 is the other one)
Well, OO3 has improved greatly in this area. There is an OO3 tab in the
print dialog (unfortunately, it doesn't come up by default), and you
can choose to print headers, titles, expanded or as-shown notes, etc.
There is a small-ish preview, where you can scroll through the pages of
your outline.
One feature I wish OO3 had is an "erase applied styling" command. This
would be useful to remove styling down to the section style, so it is
easier to give the outline a cohesive look. Too often I paste something
into my outline, and the style comes with it ... 20 pastes later and I
have 20 sections to remove Arial from, one at a time.
All told, I think my aged copy of More is finally going to the software
Hall of Fame. Thank you, Omni.
