Insert references from list throughout document
Word / Office 2010 windows.
Using word doc to create notes as I research a large book. In the book I am noticing several themes I would like to isolate and study. Example: I'm making notes and come to a paragraph that discusses "politics". As I start my notes on that paragraph, I would like to access a predefined, by me, drop down list that has say 8 topics to select from, "politics" "art" "music" etc. I would then select "politics" to place a marker at this point in my notes doc. Later when I have 50 pages of notes, I would like to be able to jump to each point in the notes where I have selected politics. This way I can isolate and study that theme independently of all other thoughts. I suspect there is an easy way to do this but I am not really up to speed on Word's functions. Any help will certainly be appreciated. Thanks! 051 |

Consider using custom paragraph styles based on your body text style.
Topic-Politics, Topic-Art, Topic-Music, etc. You can then search by style using advanced find. |

Was hoping to find something more simple. Right now I'm just typing the word, art, politics, etc at the end on the sentence and then just using a word search. That's ok but I would love to have some kind of drop down list.

For that sort of thing to be built-in, you would want a database program.

OneNote is possibly the best place for your notes to be collated so you can organise them into a more logical grouping. Have you considered that Application?
