I want to construct a document with short notes in the left margin summarizing the content of the paragraph to the right. I know I can make it look that way using columns but I'd like to have the marginal comments linked to the paragraph to make editing easier. Thanks

You don't want to use Comments?
Menu > Insert > Comment
Or insert Layout Breaks with dual columns to divide the text horizontally.

Thank you, Peter. Layout Breaks works a bit easier than Columns. Unless the comments would acually print on the page, they won't help me. (I'll be delivering a speech. I'll follow the margin notes as much as possible but I'm to insecure to not have the complete text in front of me.)
Heather,
Use can use Comments in regular (non-table) text, and print them in the margins.
Jerry
Thank you, Jerry.
I did not know the comments would print that way.

I wish I could see what I type. I'm really good at finding the errors of others - if only that would apply to my own posts...

I have the same problem, Jerrold! And so does Peter but he doesn't know it. š
I blame my problems on my fingers. My brain tells them what to type but they just won't do it. It would be a big help if "check spelling while you type" worked in these Jive reply boxes.
I blame the latest keyboards and OSX. They seem to drop letters all the time.

I stayed with Safari 5.0.5 until last saturday for 2 reasons. One was that the spell check in the jive reply boxes still worked with that version. Second that didn't have to sign in to the forum many times a day which I have to with this version, 5.1.7. I had to upgrade due to some streaming video gave me problems lately which resolved by upgrading the browser.
Contenta of this discussion, which has nothng to do with the OP's question, is that we are perfect but the technical devices are failing us š
fruhulda,
You are absolutely right. None of the discussion has anything to do with the original question. At the same time it is also much more interesting than the original question. I will be stopping e-mail notifications to my address only because my wife is beginning to look at me strangely when I rush in with the latest update. I will choose to comfort myself believing that this little thread about virtually nothing will just keep bubbling along without my presence.
