I tried to apply to marginpar the recent suggestion about the quotation environment:
> Or a bit easier (and more generalizable): > \newcommand*{\OriginalQuotation}{} > \let\OriginalQuotation\quotation > \renewcommand*{\quotation}{\OriginalQuotation\small} to produce smaller font margin notes as follows: \newcommand*{\OriginalMarginpar}{} \let\OriginalMarginpar\marginpar \renewcommand*{\marginpar}{\OriginalMarginpar\small} But it does not work ;-( In fact, the commands swallow up the margin note completely. Is there anything I am doing wrong ? Or perhaps this method cannot be applied to margin notes? (I have already tried the marginnote package suggested in the Embedded Object manual, but I cannot get it to produce a really small size margin note. My idea was to try out Jurgen's approach and then start experimenting with different sizes with the relsize package. Unfortunately I am stuck at the first step).
