Create and store notes within words and paragraphs in MS Word
I would like to see a new feature in Word (and possibly other parts of
Office) that would allow the user to create and store notes within words or paragraphs. For instance working in print layout view, you type your document as normal, but rather than going in depth to describe something, you can keep the text short and to the point by using word/phrase 'Notes' which, similar to creating a hyperlink, the user would right click on the word or phrase and select 'create note'. The note that the user would then create would contain anything from text, hyperlinks, images and anything else suitable for notes. Then any reader, including the creator, could roll over the 'Note link' to display a small pop up 'hovering' window which contains the note details, relating to that word or phrase. Example. User writes about their business marketing strategy, two of the words in the paragraph are 'sales projections' which are a blue color (but prints black as normal). when the user hovers over the words 'sales projections' a small pop up appears with more details of the sales projections for that business. Therefore, rather than reading heaps of text to get the gist of the information, we can now keep the text short, to the point and remaining just as informative (in fact possibly more informative now, due to the fact that not only would the text be more condensed and easier to read (and take in information) but also more informative due to the ability of hiding notes within the text by use of mouse over links. certainly a feature I very much need. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.
