First go to File --> Page setup. Now change the page size from 8x11.5 (traditional paper) to Tabloid or Larger. If we don't need to print, don't treat it like paper.
Next go to Insert --> Table select a 2 or 3 column option . Now copy and paste all the text into the first column. Column 2 and 3 can be for notes and comments.
Use the "comment tool" to leave notes about the article to yourself.
