Independent left column?

I have a large, document in an outline format to which many users will add
comments over time. The comments are preceded, in some cases, with a single
letter comment code left aligned. Currently, the format is similar to the
following:

***********************
M.[1/2" tab] 1. [1/2" tab] Comments here......

X.[1/2" tab] 2. [1/2" tab] Comments here......

D.[1" tab] a.[1/2" tab] Comments here....etc. etc.
***********************

However, it is seeming extraordinarily difficult to set up any kind of a
template with styles for the actual content when the single letter code is
employed.

Is there an independent column or table I can use for these letter codes but
still be able to set up a list style with fully manipulatable content?

Thanks-
kevin

Thanks, Suzanne. This looks like what I might need but in reviewing your
document, it isn't clear whether I can have a frame automatically added to
Word for each outline entry (whether a comment is necessary or not). Or do I
just need to fiddle with the Format Frame dialog box?

No, this would not be automatic. You'd need to insert a paragraph in the
framed style anchored to the paragraph that required a comment. That is, the
framed style and the outline style are separate and independent.
