My girlfriend is working on a 10+ page paper, and she asked me advice on how to work on multiple topics at the same time in Word, cross-referencing them and referring back and forth.
I'm happy to say that I must have learnt something as an IA, because I told her to chuck the computer and user paper. I even resisted the urge to go into a rant on why a computer screen was not the right tool for this task, no matter how good the software. She quickly worked out a system that worked for her, and all was well.
