Sidebar for doc notes or wrapping text around table

Post by RickH »

I'd like to have a 'sidebar' area for document notes. It would function like a one-cell table, and the document text would wrap around it.

Don't want a table at the top, then the document text below.

It would be used for notes as I am creating/editing a document. Even more helpful would be a sidebar note area that would be independent of the scrolling of the document.

I am aware that I could create a second document, and tile the document windows vertically. But I would like to have the note area as part of the documents - I often work on multiple/separate topic documents, so don't want to have to have two document windows open at the same time.

So
- is it possible to have a table that has text wrapping around the table (like text wrapping around an image)?
- or perhaps a new 'document notes' window that would be saved/editable with the current document (one doc file contains the document and the 'note window')?

Thanks...Rick...

What about using a 2-column layout with the notes in the left column, and the associated text in the right column?
Or a 2-column table?
