Create Collapsible Index

Can I create a collapsible index of hard and soft documents?

I'm doing some training at the moment and I have tons of documents - folders and folders of hard copy that I received at training sessions and also a whole bunch of pdfs.
To help me find the information I want efficiently, I started creating an index of all the documents as a text file. Then I started adding the TOC of each document. And then it struck me that it'd be really neat if the index was collapsible, functioning like Windows Explorer. Can this be done?

It sounds like you're looking for an outliner. If you were on a Mac, I'd recommend Omni Outliner. If you're on Windows, you may already have one that's good enough - built in to Microsoft Word.

(Omni would also allow you to attach the PDFs to your outline. There may be a Windows outlilner that can do that also.)
