Actually, Cal, I think the easiest way to do what you want to do--if I
understand what it is you want to do--is with the Format Position command.

Set your document margins for the main text paragraphs, leaving a wide
left margin big enough to contain your headings or notes or whatever it is you
want to put out there.  Select the paragraph you want to put out to the left.
Choose Format Position, and position it, say, .5" (or whatever you want)
from the left, relative to the PAGE.  Change the paragraph width to something
small enough to fit in the margin.  Leave the vertical position as INLINE.
The selected paragraph should move over into the margin, to the left of
the main paragraph.

The best part about doing it this way is you can define a style based on that
paragraph and call it whatever you want, say, "HEADING."  Then in the future,
all you have to do is apply the style HEADING to a paragraph and it will 
slide over to the left margin.
