Not sure if this is possible...

I'm not sure if this should also be applied to OneNote, but at any rate, I
was wondering if this function/feature even exists. (And if it does, please
excuse my ignorance.)

Is there some way to have some sort of "on the side" note taking feature in
Word? For example, I am writing a paper and would like to be able to jot
down notes, ( and not by using the Post-it gadget on the sidebar; one detail
would take up 5 post -ut pages.), while writing and be able to see them
alongside my Word document while writing. This would be a huge help instead
of writing on actual paper my notes and them typing them out in Word. It
would almost be like a clipboard of sorts.

Many thanks for any help on this subject possible!

If you have a recent version of Word, comments can be inserted in so-called
balloons; this does what you are looking for.

Word 2003: Insert | Comment.

Word 2007: Review tab | New Comment.

The balloon doesn't do what I was hoping for. I was hoping for more of a
"floating" clipboard that I could sketch out general notes on, while it
stayed on the same word doc screen. The balloon attaches its comment to an
existing item in my document, which wasn't what I was looking for. Though in
appearance, (I have Word 2007) on the side where the comment balloon is,
would be perfect if general notes could be sketched there.


But thank you, I did end up learning something new about Word.

A simple way to do this is to keep two Word documents open, side by side,
and use one of
them to type your notes.
