Create the tab captions
Before you begin
Every tab media has a [Cycle length]. The number of tabs shown at one time in the [Preview]
view is equal to the [Cycle length] for this tab media. The [Cycle length] is defined in the [Media
Catalog] for every tab media.
For a correct position of the tab caption text you must define the [Top / bottom indent] in the
[Media Catalog]. The [Top / bottom indent] is the distance between the top of the tab media and
the top of its first tab.
You have to define the order of the tabs in the document type.
Create the tab captions
Use the [Tab captions] dialog to define the text on the tabs of the tab sheets in your document. A
document can contain either bleed tabs or tab media. The [Preview] view shows how the tab
captions are printed on the tabs.
You must create a group of tab captions for each different tab media that you use in your
document. You can define a maximum of 4 different tab groups. You can define all tab captions
before you add the tab sheets to your document.
NOTE
A document can contain either bleed tabs or tab media.
1. Click [Document] - [Tab captions].
2. Type a tab caption for each row. A tab caption can contain up to three lines of text.

[Start set] or [Continue set]
Use the [Start set] button to start with a new set of tab sheets. The tab of the first tab sheet
is at the upper right corner in the case of portrait orientation. For landscape orientation the
first tab is at the bottom right corner.
For example, the tab set contains five tab sheets. Select the fourth tab caption. Click the
[Start set] button. Then the selected tab caption becomes the first tab caption of a new set
of tab sheets. The unused tab sheets of the previous set - in this example the tab sheets
four and five - are discarded. Now, the tab captions continue on a new set of tab sheets.
The [Start set] button changes into [Continue set] for the first tab of the new set of tab
sheets. Click the [Continue set] button to undo this action.
3. Use the [From media catalogue] drop-down list to select the media that you want to use for
the tab sheet(s). You can only select [Tab] media here. You can also create new media. Click
the button [New...] to define new tab media, see
Add media to the media catalog on page 27.
4. Use the [Horizontal] and [Vertical] options to align the tab captions.
Use the associated [Margin] option to set the top distance and side distance of the caption on
the tab. The same value is used for the front side and the back side of the tab sheet.
5. Define the [Orientation] of the tab caption.
• Use the [Print caption] option to specify whether the captions must also be printed on the
back side of the tab.
Not all supported printer models can print on the back side of the tab. You will be notified
about this in the notification area when you select that printer.
