How to do Q&A, quizzes, exercises, elaborations, etc.?
I am writing a textbook in Word 2000, soon to be Word 2003. I want to
make the mainline of the text as brief and concise as possible, but I would also like to provide additional information such as is often put into footnotes, side bars, appendices, etc. I want this supplementary information to be out of the main text. I don't want to clutter up the mainline text with sidebars or footnotes or any such device. Ideally, I would like the whole thing to be electronic so that I can put hypertext tags in the document and the user can drill down when needed, but that is not feasible right now. In the meantime, I would appreciate suggestions for the best way to structure this document. I would like to put all of the supplementary information in an appendix in some kind of numbered list so that I can put references to the individual item in the main line text, like an endnote or header reference. Some of the information will be just a sentence or two, but some may be more than a page. I have used numbered lists and headers, but I have had problems with the references getting all screwed up or even having Word crash if the text gets moved around very much. Can anyone suggest a way to approach this that is reliable?
