I am looking for a method to tag portions of text in a MS word document.

I am a law student, and I do a copicious amount of research and note taking. While I have a format to most of my notes and outlines, it would be a boon if I could tag sections of notes within the document. Thus I could later search for not only a keyword but a topic. This would help ID aspects of the topic that are not best expressed in the the major point heading.

If an example helps please see my post at macworld forums: http://forums.macworld.com/thread/98042?tstart=0  read more »

Hey all,

I’ve searched far and wide online and am really surprised not to find very much info on this (perhaps I’m using the wrong search terms!).

After reading Bit Literacy, I decided that I wanted to starting using plain text files more at work, especially for notes. Unfortunately, years of reading 43F has enhanced my fiddly nature, and I’m more focused on trying to format my notes “correctly,” or at least to have some sort of standard to stick to.  read more »

I’ve been looking into notae and yojimbo (I like the tagging features alot, but dislike that I can’t put in pictures and such) but have heard good things about journler and devonthink.  read more »

I am an illustrator who does storyboards for advertising and I am trying to make my self teaching more rational and to the point. The outcome I’m after is that I’ll have the ability to keep my train of thought recorded using words as well as my sketches so that when work sporadically comes in and interrupts my explorations I wont come back two weeks later with only the memory of something exciting I was doing but can’t quite remember what it was.  read more »
