I am writing a novel with two stories simulatenously running alongside each other. That is, on each page there is a main story, taking the body of the page, and there is a 'side story' which runs alongside it which contributes to the main story but from one other perspective.

One is fiction the other non fiction.

I need to create a sidebar, on each page that does not overlap in the word processor, but runs separately from page to page. As each story is different, also in character color and one is italic and the other standard.

I have been struggling with word and libreoffice and cannot yet find the format settings to allow me to do this seamlessly.

If you need me to be more precise in the question please let me know and I will provide examples.

Thanks again,

Max
