The fruits of 5 straight hours of work today: I got running sideheads to work, elegantly and natively, in a 120-page text in InDesign.
I keep the main text in the left column there (which is the inner column of both pages), and sidebar content in the right (outer) column. As I add and delete content during the editing process, I wanted sidebar blurbs to "lock" to specific passages of the inner content, and move up and down accordingly. Now they do. All 155 of them.
Doing this decreased the final manuscript by five pages, and dramatically improved the information density and scannability of the page.
