Page divider Tab Templates |
|||||
| Any Scouter who has been at this for more than a year or two will have accumulated at least one three-ring binder full of Roundtable helps, "how-to" sheets, various guides, meeting helps, etc. Those binders can be more annoying than helpful if they're not organized. | |||||
| Separate the papers in your binder by topics. Pick up a package of page dividers at your local office supply or discount store. These usually come 5 pages to the pack, and have clear tabs on the edges. They cost about a buck for five dividers. Also in the pack will be five little white cardboard inserts for the clear tabs. What most folks do is write the topic on the cardboard slips, and then insert the slips into the tabs. | |||||
| A much easier way, and one that looks a whole lot neater, is to make a template of the slips in MS Word, and just fill in the topics you want in your tabs. Print out the template, cut out each label with scissors, and insert them in the clear tabs. To make the tabs extra stiff, slide the cardboard slips in behind the new labels. If you decide to reorganize later, just print out new slips, replace the old, and you're done. | |||||

sample label template, with some topics already filled in.

| To make your own labels for your dividers, just download this file. Backspace over each each topic name, and type in the topic you want. Print out the page, cut out the slips with scissors, and you're done. | |||||
| If you want to make your own from scratch, use MS Word to create a table. Make the cells .5" tall, and the rows 2" wide. Create .2 space around each cell, so you can cut between the cells after printing. The font used in the example above was Arial Black, all caps, 12 points. You can adjust your font larger or smaller to allow for longer/shorter topic names. Be sure to center-justify each topic in its cell for neatness. | |||||
