How to Fill an Entire Tab Set in Seconds

Typing a title into every tab one at a time is the slow way to build a set. Tabzoola's online tab designer gives you two shortcuts that fill an entire set in seconds — and everything stays editable afterward.

The 60-second video above shows both. Here are the same steps in writing.

Fill tabs automatically

In the designer, find the “Fill tabs automatically” bar under Tab Text & Colors. Pick a style, then click “Fill … tabs” and every tab in the set is filled in one click.

Four sequence styles are built in:

  • Numbers — 1, 2, 3 … the classic numbered index.
  • Letters — A, B, C … through Z, then AA, AB, and on.
  • Roman numerals — I, II, III … for legal and formal sets.
  • Months — January through December, a ready-made year of tabs.

Start the numbering anywhere

Next to the style is a “Start at” box. Leave it at 1 for a standard set, or start anywhere — 101, 501, or “Exhibit 12” — and the whole sequence follows from there. It's ideal for large exhibit binders that continue where a previous volume left off.

Paste a list from Word or Excel

Already have your section titles typed up? Click “Paste a list…”, paste them in one per line, and click “Fill tabs from list.” Line one becomes tab one, line two becomes tab two, and so on down the set — no retyping.

Tip: set your Tabs per Set to match the number of titles first, so every line lands on its own tab. If your list is longer than the current set, Tabzoola fills what it can and tells you to add more tabs.

Everything stays editable

However you fill the set, nothing is locked in. Click any tab to retype it, give tabs their own Mylar colors, or change the font — then watch the live, to-scale preview update. And nothing prints until you approve a free PDF proof.
