I'd go using frames and adjusting styles accordingly (of course ;).

Here's what I'd do:

1. Setting styles

a. Standard text: use TextBody style and set it up to fit your needs 
(ie, wide text indent on the left, etc.)

b. Insert a frame and move it to the place you want for title 
paragraphs. Set it up to fit the title context.
-> Don't forget to have a look and setup the frame anchor, position and 
size. Create a new frame style from this one.

2. Usage

Just type the body as you wish, using TextBody style paragraphs.

For each title, the cursor being in the 1st paragraph for that title, 
add a new frame and set it to your frame style. Then set the title style 
to what you see fit (Heading 1, etc.) and... enjoy!
