Combining side-heads and full-span paras in the same document

Hi, Steve:

If I understand your request correctly, method c would be to use
paragraph formats set to Across All Columns and Side Heads for your
full-span paragraphs, with a flow that enables side head space.

HTH

Regards,

Peter

I think this is because the sidehead property is a property of the flow [which I seem to remember reading here recently], so that even though the full-span master pages have been applied, FrameMaker ignores their side-head settings.
