I do not believe this is a software issue at all. Whether coding is done by hand with paper, scissors, and highlighters or is done using a software package is purely a matter of personal choice and convenience. I prefer to print out the document (with line numbers), code it by hand (while laying in the hammock in the back yard under the big oak tree), then go back and enter the code into the software later. Remember, you can always go back and revise codes, definitions, trees, memos, whatever. It does not have to be right, perfect, or fit the "big" picture the first time through. Or vnen the second, third, fourth, or fifth time through.
