Before I start writing any complicated document, I open a second Word document open and put it in the Outline view. This view (mode) allows me to write one line statements and to easily hang them in a hierarchy. I then summarize a plan for the document such as...

Tab and shift-Tab move individual lines left and right and the enter key can create new lines anywhere within the hierarchy. Cut and paste function as you would expect. It is a very easy tool to use and you could then type your document right into the outline. I usually just use it as a separate guide while I write in another instance of Word.

If new ideas distract me while I am writing, I add them to the outline before adding them to my actual document. Then, when I am done, I can compare the finished document to the original outline, to make sure that I haven't omitted anything.
