[Framers] Thumb Tabs

[Harding, Dan]

Maybe I'm too "old school" but I've been using side tabs for years, but a simple manual implementation rather than anything automated.

I have a one-page master document just for side tabs that has ALL of the thumb tabs on it for the entire book (or more than one recto page if there are multiple sequences of tabs), properly spaced with graphics and text grouped, and then simply select and copy and paste the relevant group onto the master page of each chapter.

One copy & paste action per chapter. Works like a charm.

Yes, and yes. However, I would suggest you use thumbs tabs on every page, and move them down the page as the chapters increment. This makes them easier to use. I can tell you how to do this (automatically, unstructured) if you decide to go down this route.
