I'd love sheet tabs like at the bottom of Excel
Hi,
I'm writing a book and I'd love to have sheet tabs like in the bottom of Excel. Imagine the benefits: I could have separate tabs for: - New Topic Sentences - New Chapters - Polished Chapters - Out Edits - Quotes - Reminders - Etc. Wouldn't it be wonderful? Then Word Count would be accurate for my Polished Chapters, and I'd have a word count for new chapters. There would be many other benefits. Is there similar functionality in Word 2007? I guess you can hyperlink to separate documents, but then you've got to be careful to keep documents together, and it's not as good. And there's Master Documents which I don't trust, and isn't as good. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Create new documents for each of your requirements and use the Windows task
bar to switch between them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org martin gifford wrote: Hi, I'm writing a book and I'd love to have sheet tabs like in the bottom of Excel.

I agree about the tabs--I was just thinking that myself recently. When you
have more than 4 tabs it turns into a group, and then you can't switch between documents easily. Tabs would be a great idea!

I'd love sheet tabs like at the bottom of Excel
You can set whether the task bar groups similar icons or not by right
clicking the task bar and selecting properties, however, the ability to group icons by applications was one of the best innovations introduced with Windows XP. Two clicks instead of one is not going to shorten your life! -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org jezzica85 wrote: I agree about the tabs--I was just thinking that myself recently.

Graham, your reply to jezzica85 was correct.
But 5-10 sheet tabs in one document would be so much better than opening 5 or 10 separate documents. (God, I'd design a fantastic wordprocessor! Just need someone else to do the programming for me. You should see my genius old Word 2003 customisations: 60 buttons on floating toolbars with 2 letters on each button instead of icons, all in alphabetical order! One click away from everything! That beats the ribbon for discoverability, speed, functionality, screenspace... everything! Doesn't look as pretty, though.) Martin Gifford.

You're right, two clicks will not shorten a life, but neither will getting
out of the car to open the garage door, but by golly, garage door openers sure are good to have! I think the tab idea is the best one ever... I just got assigned to create the 12 page newsletter every month, and having tabs at the bottom would be wonderful. They should pay people for ideas like that!

Getting out of your car might actually lengthen your life!

lol, good point! But, I counter, when it is pouring out you have to admit that openers are convenient. Normally, using the task bar is no problem, but when I have 12 pages open the task bar slows me down exponentially. I tried the 'cascading' button, as well as the 'tile vertically or horizontally' choices, but they are virtually worthless. Alas, I'll keep using the task bar, but just because I have to. Geez, I am wishing for tabs.

Publisher has those tabs for each page in a newsletter. I love the idea of
having tabs on the bottom of a Word grouping too. I'm also a writer and have found keeping track/tabs (is it a pun if you have to point it out?) of sections difficult.

They aren't tabs, those are pages. Publisher deals with pages, Word doesn't.
