How can I write in the margin for a Script-like format?
Hi!
I am trying to format a document for an opera libretto, and I want it to look like the attached picture example (screenshot from librettidopera.it, please excuse the fact that it is sideways). Essentially, I want the main body of the document to have the speaking parts and stage directions, and the margin to have the names of the the ones speaking each line. I can't use columns because columns are continuous from one to the next, and I tried using a 2x1 table, but the more pages a table takes up, the less willing it is to format cooperatively. Text boxes do not line up the way that I want them to. Any suggestions? Thank you! |

Unless you're happy to use paragraphs with hanging indents (which would work fairly well in the scenario) a two-column table is the way to go - just start a new row for each change in speaker.

Thanks Guys! The 2x1 table DID end up working out- the issue that I had been having, that when I edited test around the page breaks seemed to disappear, had an easy fix:
All I had to do was press apple-s to save, and all the disappeared text came back! Crazy that. Must be a glitch in the matrix. |
