Creating a Task list
Any ideas?:
I am elucidating an ancient text. This text is broken up into large (about a page each) paragraphs. I have a worked-out methodology, which I must repeat for **every** paragraph. So I have a task list for each paragraph (just example): 1. Check variants in manuscript 3232 2. Check variants in manuscript 3456 3. Add index citations 4. Check for "strange words" etc etc. Is there ANY way I can construct a sort of "to-do list" attached to **every paragraph** so I can mark off one by one by the tasks that I have completed and reveiew where I still have unfinished tasks. Then I could run a search "Show me every paragraph that hasn't been checked for strange words. etc. Not too much to ask for... (Maybe Bill Gates will now have some extra time to dedicate to improving Word....) |

I would do this by converting your document into a table so that each paragraph is a new row. Then I would add an index column (numbered from 1 to n), plus a column for each check item. Once you have this structure, there are options as to how you can filter/find your outstanding task progress.
It would be simpler to use MS Excel for this as the autofiltering functionality is easier to use.

well, in the meanwhile...
At the lack of a more efficient, elegant solution, I have created a list of 8 tasks I need to perform for each paragraph at the top of the document.
Then Next to each PARAGRAPH I add a comment, paste the list, and cross out each task as it is completed. Feel a little like an idiot (I am) for such a round-about way of doing things If in the course of time anybody has any better ideas, PLEASE POST THEM. |

You could use Frames to hold your task list.
