Joseph: I normally use the Research Notes, but I really like your idea. Attaching my research steps as a Word document would allow the use of tables, etc. when I'm trying to compare information. I'll steal that idea. :)
Adding to your idea I created a folder called "Research Notes" in the Media folder, so all my (linked) Research documents are stored together and easily accessed. Thanks!
