Using Word 2007, what is the best, least problematic, way of typing an
outline on the left side of the page and having tables and figures on the
right hand every so often? Something similar to a textbook where you have
images down one side and then you have your main body of text. My problem is
with the tables, not the outline.

I've used images before and just formatted the object to be square so that I
could place it on my page and the text go around it. I don't see that same
type of option for a table or Smart Art figures. I having trouble with
getting the tables to stay put.

Thanks for any help or ideas you can give me.
