thumb tabs or bleeding tabs

[MaryM]

Using Word 2000, is it possible to add thumb tabs to right-
hand pages in a book? Thumb tabs: a shaded area on the
outside edge of the page containing text that identifies
the section.

TIA.

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You can add them, but unless your printer can print full bleed, they won't
print to the edge. One method that has been suggested is a floating table
anchored to the header. Set an exact row height and apply a black shade
(fill) to a different row for each section.
