index tab dividers
I am trying to print on index tab dividers 1-25. Does anyone know of a
downloadable template or an easy way to print these? I have tried tables. Not very user friendly. -- Mona Webb |

Generally, Word handles these as labels, in the Tools Letters and Mailings Envelopes and Labels dialog. Click the Options button in the dialog. If your dividers are stock from Avery or one of the other companies in the "Label products" list, and you know the stock number or product name, you should be able to find it in "Product number" the list. Some other manufacturers state the equivalent Avery product. Note that there are non-numeric names at the end of the list, after all the numeric values. If you don't find your product, or something with the same dimensions, you can click the New Label button and make a custom label definition. Before you do that, though, check the Avery site (http://www.avery.com/us/Main?action=... =WEB01&node=0) or other manufacturer's site for a "template" (I put this in quotes because what Avery supplies is a document, not a Word template). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

To add to what Jay has said, when Avery comes out with a new product for
which current versions of Word don't already have a built-in definition, instructions for creating the definition are usually included in the package. In this case, the Ready Index 25 is not included in Word 2003, which reminds me that I need to copy my custom label definitions from my old computer to this new one! -- Suzanne S.

You have misunderstood. Even non-label Avery products (note cards,
postcards, business cards, Ready Index products, etc.) are set up as "labels" (i.e., tables) and listed in the Label Options dialog of Tools | Letters and Mailings | Envelopes and Labels. If what you have is an Avery or comparable product that is designed to be printed on a desktop printer, then either there will be a "label" definition for it in Word or you should have instructions in the product for creating one (or at least for structuring a document/template to print on them). If not, it may be that the product is designed to be used with a typewriter or copier or filled out by hand. -- Suzanne S.
