How to create a Legal Document with margin notes?

Hi,

I want to create a Legal Document with margin notes. These margin notes should relate to the main document. When I add or delete a clause or a paragraph, the marginal note should also move downwards or upwards as the case may be.

A similar document in PDF format can be seen by clicking the link below. I have attached it.

http://negombolawsociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/04-2019_E.pdf

In this, if Section 2(2) in page 1 is deleted, I want Section 3 in page 2 moves up together with the side note.

I have tried several options and have not been successful.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi!

 

What you need to play is really simple if you know how to do it! …

 

You just need to write the "sidenote" para [with the right para style] below the para concerned.

 

After that, 1 click: all the "sidenote" paras will been "moved" in an anchored text frame!

 

… Like in this video made 4 years ago for a client [the text is here just copied-moved but it could be cut-moved too]:

    Anchor the margin note text panel to the first line of the main document text paragraph.

      Thanks so much for the quick reply.

      I will test it and let you know.

      My original document is with 300 to 400 pages and there are many amendments that have come across during the past.

      I want to create a consolidated document removing and adding sections accoring to the said amendments.

      In doing that, the main doucment is amended, and whenever I remove a paragraph, the rest together with the side notes should aslo move up.

      Hope your Answer works for me.

      Thanks again.
