Marginalia
Marginal notes can be put in a frame.
If you want to use Marginalia, you can do so with text frames, as shown in the example on the left.
1. From the Insert menu, choose Frame.
2.Select the size, anchor, and position of the frame and click OK. If you have a two-sided layout, the marginalia must be placed on the outer page margin with the frame anchored to the paragraph.
3.Drag the newly placed frame to resize as needed.
If you want to insert another marginalia somewhere else in your text, simply copy the existing one.

Note: Marginalia can also be generated and modified via paragraph styles or frame styles. A paragraph based on a paragraph style with marginalia has a left margin of 4 cm. You have to use a marginalia text frame in conjunction with this paragraph. The marginalia always appears on the left when using this method.
