Use comments.
They are either located on the Insert Menu in Word 2003 or on the Review tab
in Word 2007.

Well, you haven't seen fit to divulge what version of Word you're using so I
won't go into a litany for different versions - especially with Comments.
However what you might look into is formatting the notation text as Hidden,
which is a simple font formatting attribute just like Bold or Italic or
Small Caps. Search it in Help for your version of Word & keep in mind that
it is best [as with *all* formatting] to include it in a Style. Text Boxes
can also be set to have no Fill & no Border so you have more flexibility
with positioning, but better avoided if having the notation in-line but
hidden will suit your requirements.

I am using Word 2007. Thank you for your help. When I use text formating
"hidden", I can no longer see the note to myself. I want to see the note
without printing it.

Use a macro to hide the hidden formatting, print the document then display
the hidden formatting again eg
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = False
ActiveDocument.PrintOut
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHiddenText = True

Why not just hide/show non-printing characters? That's what I do.

That seems simple enough! I was just hoping to put a few small notes in a
corner and leave them alone. They would view when I was in the doc and not
print. Just sit up there and replace my short term memory.

I do that often. For example, I order supplies for a large group of people.
I use a table in Word to list my supplies and email that to the woman who
actually places the order. Below the table in hidden text is who gets what.
If I didn't do that, I'd forget.

Don't forget that you can put this information in the document Properties as
well. I often type letters for a client that will be revised many times, and
by the time we get to the final version I've forgotten whether he wanted a
#10 envelope or a label; so I put this in the Comments property (Summary
tab) when I create the document.

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
However note that in Word 2003 at least you can set Word to display hidden
text but not print it (tools > options > view & print) - and this appears to
be the default in Word 2007.
