Making a to do list for Word Docs
I want to apologize if I have asked this question before. I have always prided myself on having a great memory but due to serious health issues (Congestive Heart Failure) I am taking meds that have zapped my memory...
Anyway... The "meat" of my document is all footnotes. It is a scholarly document based on ancient text in the main text area with my comments in the FN. I may have gone at this in the wrong way, but it is already after >400 pages of notes and I don't see myself overhauling everything. Each FN is a discussion of a subject and sometimes branches off into some sub-subjects. I often jump around a lot to keep my mind fresh editing here and then editing there etc. I want to create a "to-do list" for each FN (i.e. subject discussion): 1. Edited by editor 1 2. Ediited by editor 2 3. Indexed 4. proofread by... Usually, the tasks will be the same for all notes. Is there a Word add-on or another way to automate all this so I can see what I need to still do and mark which tasks have been completed and make plans etc? All help is very appreciated. Susan Edit: It dawned on me (why didn't I think of this earlier - That being the ferocious OneNote user that I am, I could handle all the metadata and progress of my to-do's in OneNote and link to Word. I was able to create a hyperlink **from Word** to any place I desire in OneNote but when I create a link in Word to bookmark or header and then copy that hyperlink it is unwilling to paste anything into OneNote. It doesn't seem to be a real hyperlink and there is nothing on the clipboard. What is going wrong? I am sure this is possible...Alas so close but still so far....sigh.... 2nd edit: I can create hyperlinks in Onenote by selecting and inserting a link manually to the desired Word file. But I still need to jump to a bookmark in the Word document and not just open the file. I edited the hyperlink and appended #BookmarkName to the end of the hyperlink and it just navigated to the WOrd doc but did not go to the BM. Getting closer..........
