| I have used Acta 7 for outlining. I have found it very easy to use.
| Other benefits: Handles picts and text in the same document; simplified
| DA version also available; under $100 mailorder.

Yet another option is In Control from Attain. I, too, am an avid Acta7
user; In Control is in some ways similar but also adds a sort of matrix
orientation, sorting, and entry helpers (like user-definable popups,
etc.). Acta seems more natural for writing, and does have publish/subscribe.
