I use the outliner in exactly the way you do; after building the doucment around the outlined phrases, I want to get rid of the phrases. In most cases, I've used the "Flatten" option, which eliminates all but the high-level phrases (which is what I usually want for an article). I believe there's a way to get rid of *all* of the outline phrases, but I haven't had occasion to try it out. I'd give the Flatten option a shot (it's under the Outline menu).
