How to Put on Index Tabs
Index tabs come in all shapes and sizes. An alternative to tabbed divider sheets, they apply directly to papers and index cards. Index tabs work well on books to mark sections for later use. In archiving and organization, they label and divide papers of any size. Index tabs also work on scrapbook projects. A favorite with cooks, tabs divide recipes for easy indexing. Used on index cards, loose-leaf and bound paper, index tabs offer a versatile organization solution.
