Hi I use this in the preamble:
\let\oldmarginpar\marginpar \renewcommand\marginpar[1]{\-\oldmarginpar[\raggedleft\footnotesize #1]% {\raggedright\footnotesize #1}} and it works like a charm :). I guess you could use another size instead of footnotesize, but it seem to about right for me :) HTH Ingar Pareliussen
