Re: Side-heads in Word? Solution

I too faced this problem. The solution was to define a paragraph style with
a frame that put the text in the margin.

This is what the frame part of one of my Word styles looks like:

"Position:
   Lock anchor

   Horizontal:   Left
   Relative to:   Page
   Vertical:   0 cm
   Relative to:   Paragraph
Distance From Text:

   Horizontal:    0.3 cm
   Vertical:   0.3 cm
Size:
   Width:   Exactly  4.5 cm
Wrapping:
   Wrap Around      "

I'm afraid you have to tinker to get it the way you want it.
