You could probably setup several boxes in the margins, but I need to know
the details. Could you provide me with sample output, and I can see what I
can do. There is also a left-edge where you can put in things. It all
depends on what you want. If you need for instance 3 columns with different
widths, and the main text flows in all these columns, you have a real
problem.
