I did some experiments, and you can reproduce some of this, but you end
up doing it manually. This is very tedious. I created my own numbering
fields, and then I incremented the numbers in the side columns.
I will send an example off list, since I can not send an example on list
:-) Hmm, no, perhaps I will simply post it on my web site. I created
this documenting using OOo 3.0 dev build, but it will probably load fine
into 2.4.1.

OK, never mind. I can not access my web site at the moment to put things
up. I will email these two files directly.

Is there a way to use (foot)notes for OOo and have them placed at the
side of the text? I'm looking to reproduce a format similar to pages 8-9
of this document:

One could work with columns, but any time the page or font size was
changed, it would disturb the formatting.
I used to be able to do this in Ventura (remember that?) by manipulating
text margins and using a paragraph style without the return inserted at
the end of the paragraph. If I could do that with a paragraph style in
OOo, that would also work, but I've not seen how to remove it.
Also, I assume there's no way to have text in a single column and
footnotes in a two-column format?
