how to create a file that has tabs (on top or on the left)
Dear friends,
I want to create a document (preferably in word) that contains a dictionary for my personal use. I want to put tabs in the file so that by clicking e.g. on 'A' it will take me to the part of the document that has the words starting with A. The ideal is to be similar to an Excel file with many sheets. Can this be done in Word? I would appreciate any replies. Thank you very much in advance. |

Hi Elias-
Word doesn't work that way. I believe I saw a post some time ago where that effect could be had through some rather complex VBA, but this is a whole lot simpler if it meets your requirements... Caption each grouping in your dictionary as A, B, C, etc. & format each caption using a Heading Style (1, 2, 3, whatever). Then use the ViewDocument Map, which will give you a list of your headings A-Z. Simply click the one you want to go to. You can also turn the DocMap pane on/off as you wish.

In addition, if you use the heading styles mentioned, you can generate a
table of contents which will be hyperlinked to the sections listed in the TOC. Pressing Alt -- will bring you back to the TOC.
