Tabs or dividers of a document
Is there a way to put page dividers on a document - possibly a black box that
would appear on the right hand side of a course catalog. Maybe page 5 - 10 are Math, and 11 - 18 are Social Studies etc... Instead of using actual dividers, the pages would be marked with each subject's name |

Tabs or dividers of a document
Charles,
You can break up a Word document into sections (InsertBreakSection break typesNext Page) Each section can have up to three different headers and/or footers (different first page, odd page, even page). You could use section break and headers to create your tabs. -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Tabs or dividers of a document
This is what is often called a thumb index. Here are some instructions I
posted in reply to a similar question last month: 1. View | Header 2. In the header, insert a wrapped table (or a table in a frame or text box). Make the table a single column, with as many rows as you need tabs, and no border. Make the rows an Exact height such that the rows are spread out across the height of the page. 3. Assuming that each chapter or part is a single section, unlink the headers between sections so that each header is independent. 4. For each section, type your index tab text in the appropriate table cell (rotating the text if desired). You'll probably want to reverse the text, so give the cell black (or dark) shading. If the font color is set to Automatic, it will automatically reverse to white if you use black shading; otherwise, you'll need to change it explicitly. As usual when reversing text, it's advisable to use a sans serif font, formatted bold. Keep in mind that you probably won't be able to print the tabs full bleed unless you have a printer that can print clear to the edge (or unless you print on oversized paper and trim the printout). -- Suzanne S.
