FrameMaker 11 has a paragraph property that will allow headings to automatically position themselves in outer margins of pages. Retagging the para with a different style will restore normal position within the flow. Unlike Word, you do not need to resort to boxed text, anchored frames, or multi-step workarounds with section breaks.

Understand the relationship between text and text frames and how to use the Type tool or any other shape to add new text to an InDesign document.
