Fwd: A hybrid of a margin note and wrapping text around figures
Okay. Either I have stumped the users or my mail was acting weird since no one has replied yet (this list replies so fast that maybe I am spoiled?). Anyways, I have been putzing around this afternoon with this and this is what I have found. I don't like the MarginNotes as an option. What I want is something that will hold a bit more text without being too many rows high. Trying to do a FigureFlt to wrap text around a Figure (my Figure would be my FloatNote text in the grey shading) is not what I want either for a couple of reasons. One, it is not controllable as to which side of the paper it falls on. According to the Extended Features Guide, page 15 The figure will always be on teh outside of a page; on the left side of an even numbered page, on the right side for an odd numbered page. While I understand the logic for this (it is thinking of book bindings) I want to make a paper where these FloatNotes would be either one side or the other, my preference is in the right margin. Second, I want something visually more promounced than something set in the documents margin or totally out of it. Something that would straddle the text margins and jut out into the right margin is optimal. I am willing to have the entire documents right margin be larger whether there are FloatNotes on the page or not. While this serious newbie is willing to try to hack her way to a solution, I am not progressing very well. I have the book _LaTeX Line by Line_ by Diller and I am awaiting my copy of the Lamport _LaTeX-A Document Preparation System: User's Guide and Reference Manual_, I am still going to have to work hard at this. Any suggestions, pointers, solutions, tips? Any would be most kindly welcomed. Thanks in advance.

a little bit tricky and a solution on the run, but
try yourself, if it's ok.
you need package floatflt
