Question on Using Word (Microsoft Office)

[StantonHyde]

I am at home working on a project for the PTA and I thought someone here might know the answer...

Is there a way to show the various sections of a Word document as "tabs" to the side or bottom/top of the document? Like you do in Excel? Or would I have to use a pdf file to do that? Or do I just put the darn thing in Excel, which is just not the best for text entry?

They want me to have descriptions of each event that PTA sponsors: Breakfast with Santa, Veterans Day, etc etc. The chair persons enter info on the # of volunteers, food etc for that event. Then, next year, the new chair can look at that event info instead of recreating the wheel so to speak. I don't know why we just can't have a table of contents, but that's not what they want. They want to be able to click on the Veterans Day tab and go right there.

TIA!!!

You can click on a table of contents and do just that using styles (i.e., you click on the thing in the table of contents and it takes you there). Do they know that? It doesn't look like a tab, but it functions that way.

There is also a notebook function in MSWord (for mac) that they may be talking about. ETA: here's an image of what it looks like (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://images.macworld.com/images/legacy/2004/07/images/21-08-office-takingnote3.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.macworld.com/article/31013/2004/07/microsoftoffoffice2004.html&usg=__0O57LnTfaMJGaP1fNinPTKviHaM=&h=284&w=480&sz=52&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=0Rxs5T8_iCIL5M:&tbnh=92&tbnw=156&ei=Z0CjTcePI6LhiAKY3LX4Ag&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dms%2Bword%2Bnotebook%2Bview%26hl%3Den %26client%3Dsafari%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Den%26biw%3D121 1%26bih%3D631%26tbm%3Disch%26prmd%3Divnsfd&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=610&vpy=198&dur=15&hovh=173&hovw=292&tx=116&ty=91&oei=Z0CjTcePI6LhiAKY3LX4Ag&page=1&ndsp=18&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0).

Are you using a mac or PC?
