Hi I use this in the preamble: \let\oldmarginpar\marginpar \renewcommand\marginpar[1]{\-\oldmarginpar[\raggedleft\footnotesize #1]% {\raggedright\footnotesize #1}} and it works like a charm :). I guess you could use another size instead of footnotesize, but it seem to about right for me :)

Thanks Ingar. I just want tiny little marginal notes (so I used 'tiny') in a document to point out where I have inadequate information and must correct things before I'm really done. It worked perfectly with \let\oldmarginpar\marginpar \renewcommand\marginpar[1]{\-\oldmarginpar[\raggedleft\tiny
