Thanks for all your suggestions.

I don't know if this will help you West, but like you, I don't like to have to go back and forth from the MKL. What I did was to export it all to an Excel spreadsheet. Then I have different tabs I created, or sheets I guess, at the bottom, one for each T2 and T3 as I start to work on them. I go to the master list that I had exported, and copy all of the words related to that Tier. I can sort them however I like...I usually have them sorted by demand.

(Say the T1 is fruit, I have one sheet for fruit, then I have one sheet for apples, one for bananas, melons, berries etc. where I copy each of the words pertaining to that tier there)

But...I am not sure if I can explain this in an understandable way...I have little groups of keywords, logically sorted, all over the page for the tier I am working on. I can see all the groups and their numbers at once. Say I am working on the apple T2, down the left three columns I may have all the general words that have to do with apples. Then a few columns over I have a group of words that I copied out and sorted that have to do with green apples. A few blank lines, and then I have a group that are related to caramel apples. Red apples. Equipment for apples. Does this make sense? I can sort each group with Excel as a whole, or just copy and sort the little groups I have spaced out all over that one sheet.

Then...when I am writing my page, I have the spreadsheet open and Word open at the same time with the pages side by side so I can see the keywords and numbers while I am writing and do different sorts as I please.

I don't know if this helps you understand..it really is very easy...or I just confused the hell out of everybody!

Actually, my folders and tier names are pretty organized...I just need to find a better way to manage my open task lists of unfinished items for each page...those that are up and those that are not yet written.
