OO3 is more and more like 'More' -- ??

[Alfred Lang]

I agree in principle: OO3 is in many respects more and more like 
MORE. But in many respects it is not (although much improved in 
others); working with the old MORE could still be more complete if 
you are not so much interested in columns - think of gathering 
clones, e.g. - if only it were available in OS X. Except for some 
modernities in handling and, of course, file formats and scripting. 
E.g. the print command with possibility of changing margins on the 
fly is just great. What I miss most in OO3, after some limited use 
yet: I thought that one time it must become possible to transfer my 
old MORE files into a modern outliner without loss.  OO 3 indeed 
reads MORE files except under loss of most style and numbering 
features. I tried via more to xml -- in vain: what I get is text 
mixed with formating command. Do I perhaps miss some possibility in 
this. Can anybody give me good advice in this? I think, now, with 
OO3, I would dare to proceed with this outliner, but only so with a 
very good transfer of the work of so many years.

Best for all and special thanks to the Omni Group team, Alfred Lang
