Newbie: Subheaders and text side-by-side layout
Formally, I had a template so that in a report, I would have a table so that I could have the sub headers on the left side of the page and the text would be parallel to the header on the right side of the page. So it might look like this:
Subheader1 ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj Subheader2 ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj ajksdklj al `dqlwj dlkasjlkd jaslj dlkas dl saj footer foot note But between the table breaks and the footers and foot notes, it is murder toi keep up. Is there a simpler way to simpler template anyone can recommend

Using a table is probably how I would have done this. If you have Word
XP or 2003, there is a way to do this without a table, but it's not any "better" in terms of footers and footnotes. What issues are you having with table breaks, footers, and footnotes?

Another way to get this particular layout (where the sidehead never exceeds
one line) is to use a hanging indent. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Suzanne. You're right, a hanging indent would work too, but I didn't
see an advantage to it relative to the OP's comment that using a table made footnotes and footers "murder to keep up". g-n-o Suzanne S.

I agree, footers and footnotes shouldn't be a problem either way, so
maybe I'm the dense one because I don't understand why you suggested using hanging indents. What's the point in telling the OP to do it differently when there's no advantage to the alternative method? Instead, I gave the OP a warm fuzzy by saying that how he/she did it was how I might have done it too. My humble apologies to you and the newsgroup if that was the wrong answer. Suzanne S.

I didn't suggest that a hanging indent was better than a table (though if
the truth were known, I think it probably is), just that it was another way to achieve the result. One of Word's strengths is that there are often several ways to do something, and I like to think that users would like to be aware of their options. In this case, if all the paragraphs in the document are set up this way, then in effect the entire document is a table, which is probably not a good idea. Long tables slow Word down and seem to be a hotbed of corruption, so avoiding them when possible (though certainly not going out of one's way to avoid them when they're the only sensible solution) seems like a good idea to me. As I say, I don't think I had any motive other than variety in suggesting a hanging indent (but since I was probably severely jetlagged when I posted that, I can't be sure), but I was puzzled as to how the issue of footers and footnotes came into this at all. Having read further into one of the other NGs I subscribe to and seen another thread that seems to touch on this, I gather that there's more going on than I realized, so I'll bow out. -- Suzanne S.
