The screenshot shows an example of a document whose footnotes have been converted to sidenotes. The notes are added to the document as anchored text frames, so that when the main text is edited, the notes travel with the note references. When new notes are added, the numbers are updated automatically. The script (sidenotes.jsx) converts footnotes in a document to sidenotes. You can convert all notes or just notes that use a selected paragraph style. Open the document whose footnotes you want to convert to sidenotes and run the script. It displays this dialog (the values shown are script defaults):
You're asked to enter several things: the width of the sidenote textframes and the distance between the sidenote and the main text. At Numbering you indicate whether the notes should be numbered: check this box to add note numbers and references in the text.
To suppress all numbering, uncheck the box. At Paragraph style: you can limit the scope of the script to footnotes that use a particular paragraph style.
