In effect, yes -- provided that you structure your notebook into sections, subsections, etc. (which is easy). By default, this then creates cell "groups". For example, the entire notebook is a cell group; each section is a subgroup of that; each subsection of a section is a subgroup of it section group; etc. Then you can simply "collapse" all cell groups or any particular cell groups to just their headings. And open any or all such with a click. So what you have, in effect, is an outline. But that outline is actually directly embedded with the body content of that outline. There is also a way to cause sections or subsections, etc., to be automatically numbered in sequence (and the numbers will automatically adjust if, e.g., you insert a new section between two existing sections). Of course you can, if you wish, create a separate outline at the beginning (or end, or anywhere) in a notebook. But then you need to insert in-notebook hyperlinks to the corresponding sections, etc., of the notebook. One special case: If you choose the SlideShow option for a notebook, then a provided palette allows you to create with a click a Table of Contents in a separate window from the notebook itself, and you can automatically move to a slide from the corresponding entry in that list of slides. From your questions, it sounds like you are either not yet a Mathematica user or else are a new user. Then I recommend you go through some of the Tutorials about notebooks -- included in the Documentation Center if you have Mathematica or, if you don't, the same thing on line at: http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/guide/Mathematica.html And I recommend the on-line tutorial (and other) screencasts at: http://www.wolfram.com/broadcast/ Especially, e.g., the Tutorial "Presenting in Notebooks" there.
