How do I create dividers in my document?

[Rocky Beach]

I am trying to figure out how to create notebook tabs or dividers in my
document. I have seen this done in large Adobe documents and I am wondering
if and how I can do the same in my Word 2007. Any thoughts?

See http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/ThumbIndex.htm for the general
principles. Note that this article has not yet been updated for Word 2007.

By "Adobe documents" I assume you mean PDFs, which is an entirely different
type of file/document structure - Word documents aren't actually constructed
of pages. There is no such capability in Word itself.

I believe there were add-ins available for earlier versions of Word which
imposed that sort of effect but I never made any attempt to use them so I
can't comment on their efficacy. Whether any have been adapted/designed for
Word 2007 I have no idea.

If your intent simply is to facilitate navigation you might find that the
Document Map [View Tab, Show/Hide Group] will work equally well if you
format with appropriate Styles. Other options may also be available if you
explain your need... Or you could just generate a PDF from your document.
