You can define a paragraph format for this purpose (mine is called NoteSidehead). In the Paragraph Designer, go to rhe Pagination tab. Under Format, choose Side Head - Alignment First Baseline (experiment with the other Alignment options if you like). This pgf will sit entirely in the sidehead area. The pgf that follows it in the flow will appear in the text column to the right of it. Another option is a two-column borderless table, but if you have room for sideheads turned on in your flow, you might as well define a pgf format to use it. :-) HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
