A different manner of conducting qualitative research without NVivo or other more highly focused programs.
I have used word to do qualitative analysis exercises with undergrads and it has worked well. I have mainly used the comment tool and highlighter so was interested to see how tables could be used. The likes of Nvivo can be useful particularly with large data sets; but for smaller pieces of analysis I think using word or good old post-it notes and wall paper can work just as well. After all, the tools available are just a means to an end.
