Bruce, I've yet to play with 2.0 yet so may I tap you to answer a question?

In 1.1, I've been able to put graphical "tip" symbols in the margins by
creating a paragraph style with [Background] As: Graphic, Type:
Position. However, this has a few annoyances associated with it:
-- The graphic can't be resized by OO, so it may be necessary to create
a new copy of an image with the precise desired dimensions.
-- The paragraph height can be no smaller than the image height,
otherwise it's cut off. This happens even with EPS.
-- Separate styles must be used for right and left pages.

Does 2.0 make this task any easier?

Thanks.
