I have the Star Office 6.0 'Companion' book and a quick look at the index 
shows that it does have outlining....   A section called 'Master Views' 
talks about the different views including an outline view but that seems 
to deal with presentations rather than a document.  In the document 
creation part it only mentions outlining by use of numbering, but 
doesn't mention any possible outline function/feature other than the 
numbering...

I would guess it really doesn't have the same capability.
