OpenOffice Writer Headings and Subheadings View

RealGem

Hi, I need to stop paying for Microsoft Word, so have downloaded OpenOffice. 

But one feature I use in Word and Google Docs is the left column showing Headings and Subheadings. I thought it was called Outline, but that could be something different. 

Anyway, it looks like this in Word:



And like this in Google Docs. 



I need something similar in OpenOffice Writer. Is that possible please?

(I have tried many times using old versions of MS Office and they always stop working, and force me to work online, so I am not interested in any versions of MS Office). I want a word processor that is completely offline and OFF-Microsoft!

Thank you

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/UserGuide/Writer/Navigator - this feature works differently in OpenOffice than it does in Word so it'll show you everything.

As for your other comment re: old versions of Office, you're obviously doing something wrong because no version of Office requires you to "work online", save for initial activation and setup (and in the case of 2013 onwards occasionally internet checks, but certainly no need to stay online).

I suggest you take a look at Libre Office which is a fully updated and supported version of Open Office and is also free to use.

Thanks That sticks to the sidebar which is very similar. 


And re MS Office. I have an official Office 2010 disc and upgraded to 2016, but the documents just stopped working. And they made me get Office 365 which I did, but now I'm skint I refuse to pay every year for it.
