8 Tab Template Microsoft Word

Q: Why is my text not aligned when I add a page to the file?

A: When manually typing the tab insert information using a blank template, the page spacing will slightlyshift every time you add a new page. This means, the information on the tab inserts will not be in thecorrect area on the pages following the first sheet. However, Microsoft Word will automatically addthe correct spacing between pages when using a Mail Merge. If you will be making more than onesheet of index tab inserts, we recommend you perform a Mail Merge.

Q: How do I find out what version of Microsoft Word I am using?

A: If you do not know what version of the Word program you are currently using, please follow these steps to verify that information:
