Hmmm. Good question!

Word 5.5 for DOS is a freeware download from MICROS~1. Don't know if
it has the outliner, but you could legally try it, no strings
attached.

I don't /think/ the DOS versions of Word have the outliner. But then,
I don't use it much. In the '80s I loved outliners, but it's a
software category that's just Gone Away. I find the MS Word one clunky
& uncooperative, so I don't use it much. I miss tools like PC-Outline,
or MORE on classic MacOS.
