Hi,

here is an example with TikZ.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calc}
\begin{document}
  \tikz[remember picture, overlay]
    \node [rotate=90] at ($(current page.west)+(1,0)$)
      {Text in the left margin};
  \blindtext
\end{document}

• the current page node is used for positioning, I took the west side
  remember picture, overlay are options for placing TikZ code in the background of the page
• I used the calc library syntax ($(current page.west)+(1,0)$) to move (1,0) in (x,y) direction.

It needs to be compiled two times for correct positioning.
