      Hi!
      I’ve seen a topic from many years ago about side notes, but my question is a little bit different
      I have no background at all in scripting etc..
      I have a file from my client with the main text. At the beginning of each paragraph, I have a code “$1$” and so on …
      In a separate file I have all the side notes with matching code at the beginning of the paragraph.
      Any idea how to combine those two files with a hanging side note as an anchored object?
      Thank you,
      RR

      There may be a way to connect the two, but I don’t know of any. Maybe a script here? https://creativepro.com/files/kahrel/indesign/footnotes.html
      My guess is that you will need a custom script. There are some scripters here who could do it, but there may be a fee.

      Thanks for that info, it looks good, but indeed I would need a custom script to combine the two files
      what is a reasonable fee for such a script?
