Hi, my name is Brie Clark, and today I'm going to show you how to use Microsoft Word to set up tabs and dividers. You may be used to just buying tabs and dividers from your office supply store and writing in the labels right on them but did you know that you can also set Microsoft Word up to print on some of these standard labels? Let me show you how to do that. I have a new blank document here so I'm going to start by going to the mailings tab and clicking labels. Then on the labels tab with envelopes and labels, I'm going to click options. Here's where I can pick the specific label I want, in this case I look at the package and I have Avery label 74160, that's what I'm going to print my tabs on. These are actually inserts for tab sheet protectors but there are a lot of other options too and you can just reference the number from the package from your store. So I'll click okay and then just click new document to launch a new document with this label layout. And there it is all set up. If I look at the package, there should be some instructions on how to use this template and I would just start typing the labels like this one might be first quarter and then I could right align it, format it, maybe make it bold and format it any other way I want before printing. My name is Brie Clark and that is how you can set up tab dividers in Microsoft Word.
