Thanks for all the help, I got it installed and working, but it's just 
too much of a pain.

I will have to spend money for software, I fear.

As with any package, the first thing you need to do is make it 
available to LaTeX. Put it somewhere inside your LaTeX distribution 
(on my computer this is /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ but it could be 
different on yours). Then run the command texhash (without the 
quotes) to update LaTeX. Note: you may need to be logged in as 
root/admin to do this.

Using it in LyX depends on whether it's supported by LyX.  If it is, 
then all you have to do is click Edit-Reconfigure, then restart LyX 
and you can use it just like any other document class. If it isn't, 
then you will need to put LaTeX commands in your Preamble (in LyX 
1.3.* you get there from Layout-Document).  If there's any 
documnetation with the package, read it and see what it asks you to 
do.  If not, try putting

 \usepackage{parallel.sty}

in the preamble and see what happens.

Marginal notes

[Michael Chabon]

I have been using Lyx for about five days and am up and running okay.

I am trying to produce a long manuscript that incorporates many, many 
marginal notes, many of them very long (i.e., more than a page).  Right 
now I'm using Word and its text boxes to do this, and it's a pain in 
the neck.

Here is what I would like to do with Lyx

1) have marginal notes that extend across page breaks

and if possible:

2) number the marginal notes just like footnotes

Thanks for your help.
