Talk:Tab stop

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Tab sheets not mentioned

Tab stops literally refer to the indent points the typewriter stops at when typesetting tab sheets. Tab sheets are the things you normally find in your notebook or binder dividing sections. Yes, people typeset them. You get a size of paper usually a 1/2" larger in the dimension you want tabs on, have them printed, then cut off the paper to show the tab you want. For instance, if you have a sheet with 3 tabs and you want 100 copies of each, you print 300 copies of the page you made, then drill off the 2/3 of the page you don't want on the respective stack. Voila, 100 of each tab sheet, ready for pagination and insertion into whatever your clients need.
