HOW DO I CREATE TAB DIVIDERS IN A PUBLISHER BOOKLET

[epettus]

trying to create a book where I can have tab sections for sub-categories. Any
ideas or experience welcome.

Explain exactly what you want to do. How many pages is your booklet, will you
print it yourself?

Mary, I am putting together a book and I want to have tabs that extend out from the body of the book for opening that section of the book, eg., a cookbook where you flip the book open from the tab that says bbq. Make any sense?

Either you buy the tabs at an office supply shop or prepare to do some cutting.

Some manuals use color coding squares printed physically on the right edge of
pages so when you looked at the side of the book you could easily find all those
items in the red, blue or whatever color. This would take a printer that could
print to the edge.

Perhaps you could print the divider pages in a new publication, rather than
using letter paper, use card stock, setup your page the same height as your
booklet, but a little wider to accommodate the tab. You could even print your
items on the tab. You still would have to cut.

Check your local office supply house for Avery tabs.

Hey, let me know how you setup your tabs. I'd like to know your procedure. Could
help someone else.
