Margin Text

Question

Is there a way to add text in the left margin, like "Judgement".  I found the way to add a symbol image to the margin, but the insert text in the palette only puts the text to the left of the word, not the left margin.

@Frank Yacone yes, you can configure style in the highlighting tool to be on the left of the text you apply it to. In the following example, I use a capsule (the blue tag-like shape), but you don't have to. Also in that example, I use a fixed text for recurrent use ("MI" = Main idea) but I duplicated the style and ascribed different values for other regularly used labels. There might be a way to add text on the fly with labels, but I don't use labels much, so if there is, I don't remember how. Others might be able to speak to that.

NB: I get to this screen by (1) opening the highlighting tool, (2) editing an existing style or duplicating it to create a new one that I then edit.

Just use notes? Creating a note inserts an icon which you can click or hover over.  That way you have a huge margin to write in.
