Inserting and Managing Tabs

A tab is the edge of a divider sheet that extends beyond the trim size of the document, and is used for labeling sections of a document.

If a product includes a Tabs option, you can add tabs. Products with fixed content may already include tabs, in which case you can edit or remove them, as well as add your own.

1. Do one of the following:

● Under Options, click Tabs and then click Insert Tabs.

● In either spread or thumbnail view, right-click the page before or after which you want a tab and select Insert Tab Before or Insert Tab After. (On a mobile device, tap Options.)

Tip Use to switch from spread view to thumbnail view; use to switch back to spread view.

The Insert Tabs window opens.

2. If more than one type of tab is available, for example, Mylar: 3 Across or Mylar: 5 Across, select the type you want.

3. If necessary, select a different font and formatting for the text that is printed on the tabs. (These formatting selections apply to all the tabs.)

4. At the bottom of the window, select the number of tabs you want to add and click Add.

5. For each tab,

a. In the Tab Text column, enter the label for the tab.

b. If you right-clicked a page in spread or thumbnail view, its number is automatically displayed in the Insertion Page Number field. Otherwise, select Insert Before Page Number or Insert After Page Number and enter the number of the page. A preview of the tab is automatically displayed.

6. If you change your mind about including a tab, click .

7. After you have specified all your tabs, click Accept. The preview of your job now includes the tabs you added. (You can see them both in spread and thumbnail view.)

Tip Both in spread and thumbnail view, you can right-click a tabbed page and click Edit Tab or Remove Tab. In thumbnail view, you can also move a tab to a different location by dragging it before or after the page where you want the tab.
