Outlining was once an exciting specialized application, but when word processors absorbed the function the appeal was lost. Inspiration raises the bar to a level that word processors may be unable to meet.
Law practice consists of organizing information and presenting it persuasively.
A computer outliner enables easy construction of an electronic knowledge base. ThinkTank for the Apple II was a pioneer program. Soon, basic word processors began adding outlining functions. So you may wonder why a specialty outliner would even be needed. After all, WordPro, WordPerfect and Word all have powerful outliners built in at no additional cost.
