MS Word: The Simple and obvious
• Already familiar with it• Transcribed data into it• No import/export issues• On every computer I work on• Everyone has it so can share data easily• Writing up thesis on it

• Highlight function to distinguish different codes/sections using colour.
• Track changes, particularly the comments feature to include memos, make notes, and record interpretations.
• Referencing functions such as table of contents, table of figures, indexes and footnotes to organise themes or interpretative repertoires
• Bolding and italicising text, using different fonts and sizes, underlining, line spacing, columns, numbered lists and bullet points etc…
Some features…

Hints & Tips from TwitterHints & Tips from Twitter
@amyfielden83: Very obvious one, but using the highlight function in various colours to distinguish codes! @amyfielden83: Comment function is great for initial coding, and note taking on transcripts!

A transcription strategy is a must! Make these decisions early on so writing up is easier.
Tips
•Start new paragraph for every speaker**
•What font?
•What size?
•Line numbers?
•Line spacing?

CodingCoding
• Add columns for codes
Also useful to add a column to number the data so it’s easier to find
![Page 16: Working with Word for Qualitative Data Analysis](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b66a3b4795984178b5de4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
CodingCoding
Numbers useful for linking excerpts
some things might work better as comments (track changes)
Highlight column, click on numbering

Table of codes Table of codes (authorities)(authorities)• Alphabetical listing• Shortcut (alt+shift+I)• Hide codes (ctrl+shift+8)
• Insert table of authorities
Add categoriese.g. Level 1, Level 2, interpretative repertoires, canonical narratives
