This document discusses using Microsoft Word to analyze qualitative data. It outlines how Word can be used to prepare data by transcribing interviews and marking new paragraphs for each speaker. The presenter demonstrates how to create a coding document in Word by adding columns for codes and using highlighting, formatting, and comments to distinguish codes. Resources for further information on qualitative analysis in Word are also provided.

- 12. Coding Highlight column, click on numbering some things might work better as comments Numbers (track useful for changes) linking excerpts 12
- 13. Hints & Tipsfrom 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! 13
- 14. Table of codes(authorities) • Alphabetical listing • Shortcut (alt+shift+I) • Hide codes (ctrl+shift+8) • Insert table of authorities Add categories e.g. Level 1, Level 2, interpretative repertoires, canonical narratives 14
