Floating notes

[Hazell]

Hi all,
I am running an older version of word on an old PC and trying write an assignment. What I an trying to do us have the assignment criteria in boxes off the page in the blue screen area of the large monitor. i want them to be visible all the time when I am writing, and as I scroll up and down through the assignment
Normally I would just use sticky notes, but this old machine doesn't have them and is not connected to the internet. I use it as a back up for my work mostly but need to work on it today.
Any ideas how I can achieve this. To recap, I want to position text off the page, but not linked to a particular section as with a comment box, but actually visible on the screen continuously


Thanks
