Writing in a notebook or on a piece of paper can be an ideal way to record information, but it provides a solely linear way to read back that data. Aside from flipping from page to page, readers can't really jump from place to place. This ability to travel instantly to new sections of a document is simple to create with electronic word processing, by using hyperlinks in programs, such as Microsoft Word. After creating a link-filled Word document, revise those hyperlinks with new names to suit the piece as desired.
