Take a look at the page on marginal text to which Paul linked. A Style may be easier to handle than a text box. Styles can also be set to insert with a keyboard shortcut.
In Ribbon versions of Word you can find the control for adding a frame on the
Developer Tab.
This can be much more flexible than a text box if you are duplexing your final result with mirror margins. It will still require manual editing but you can have one style for the left margin and another for the right. (You could have two textbox AutoText entries as well but if changing sides you would have to drag the text box into the other margin. Doing that would make it difficult to maintain constant positioning.) You can find a comparison of Textboxes and Frames here:
Frames and Textboxes in Microsoft Word
Again, with larger documents, using Styles consistently for text formatting can cut out a lot of overhead in the document.
