I want to explain why each sentence is included in the document. But I don’t want those explanations to appear in the print version.

Every sentence is included for a specific reason, usually because it is required by a law or regulation. Sometimes the structure of an entire section will appear in a certain way to conform to a regulation. Many collaborators will write this document with me, and I don’t want people to change a sentence unless they understand the regulations that required the inclusion of the sentence.

I know I can achieve this with comments. But I am wondering if there are other ways. Perhaps there is a better document writing solution than Word. The comments can become very cumbersome. And it will get messy if I have hundreds of comments and Word is tracking changes.

Any thoughts?
