i need to print directly on the dividers, they are legal sized with bottom
tabs instead of side tabs. how do i go about doing this

1. Will these things go through your printer? -- with some printers you'd
run a risk of damaging the print head when it meets the edge of the tab; and
most printers use the edge of the paper to keep the paper straight, so
alignment might be a problem if you print with the dividers at the bottom.

2. Can your printer handle that page size? -- ie, legal plus the depth of
the tabs.

3. Can your printer actually print on to them? --probably not if they are
made of polyethlyene

If you're OK on the above points, create a document in Word that's the size
of the divider including the tab. Position a textbox for the divider text,
and away you go.

Hi Jezebel,
That was great and thank you! But i'm still having problems with the
margins. I need to print on the very very bottom of the page and it won't
show up for the life of me.

That too is a function of your printer. The printer driver tells Word how
close to the edge of the paper to allow. For some printers this is
adjustable: look in Printer Properties and see if you have a 'borderless
printing' option. Failing that, lie to Word about the size of the paper:
make it legal plus the depth of the tabs plus a centimetre or so. But bear
in mind, some printers really *can't* print very close to the bottom edge.
You might have more success using PowerPoint - turn the text upside down and
print with the tabs at the top.
