Adding text outside of margins without text box printing out

[Guest]

Is there a way to type info in margin area without a "text box"? (For
instance if you want to edit and add some info in the margins -- possibly an
asterisk outside of the text?)

While the link given, does indeed address how to establish "frames" for text
in margins, it is far too involved for my needs. I was able to accomplish
what I needed by using the text box and erasing the border (which I just
figured out how to do). It was actually the border of the text box that I
found objectionable. Thanks to Jay for his assistance.

Thanks Jay! The link that covers inserting true marginal text by way of
"frames" was helpful, but a bit too involved for my pea brain. I think I
will stick with the "text box" and erase the border from around it (which was
actually the thing I found objectionable about text boxes) ... I just learned
how to erase the border. Thank you again for your assistance!

Best wishes,
