Default Inserting text along the side margin of the page

Insert a text box or a one-cell table. Right-click the empty paragraph
mark inside it and choose Text Direction to turn it 90 degrees. You
can turn off the borders if you don't want them.

For text that isn't turned 90 degrees, a frame is better -- see
http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/MarginalText.htm.

I love making an odd piece or two in a Word doc...!

Thanks, all!
