A method of using a template for creating the indexing system includes selecting a template, inputting indicia into a plurality of modifiable text boxes on the template, printing a label display sheet wherein the plurality of spaced label indicia includes the indicia input into the modifiable text boxes, and positioning the label display sheet adjacent the divided stack of objects such that the plurality of spaced label indicia are visible through the respective tabs.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A method of using a template for creating an indexing system, the indexing system including, 
 a label display sheet to be positioned adjacent a divided stack of objects, the label display sheet including a plurality of spaced label indicia; and    a plurality of tabs substantially adjacent the objects of the stack, each tab corresponding to a respective one of the plurality of spaced label indicia and including a translucent material;    the method comprising:    selecting a template;    inputting indicia into a plurality of modifiable text boxes on the template;    printing a label display sheet wherein the plurality of spaced label indicia includes the indicia input into the modifiable text boxes; and    positioning the label display sheet adjacent the divided stack of objects such that the plurality of spaced label indicia are visible through the respective tabs.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the template is accessed through a web site.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein a plurality of different templates are available for accessing through the web site.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 downloading the template to a user's computer from the web site.    
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the downloaded template is compatible with multiple word processing programs.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the downloaded template is selected to be compatible with a word processing program stored on the user's computer.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 printing a table of contents page wherein the indicia input into the plurality of modifiable text boxes is positioned on the table of contents page in corresponding relation to the tabs.    
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the user need only input indicia once to generate both the table of contents page and the label display sheet.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 7 , wherein the table of contents page further includes a title generated from indicia input into one of the plurality of modifiable text boxes.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 positioning the table of contents page adjacent the divided stack of objects such that the indicia are generally aligned with the respective tabs.    
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the template is an electronic file.  
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the template automatically spaces and positions the input indicia on the label display sheet as the spaced label indicia.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the plurality of spaced label indicia on the printed label display sheet is spaced to extend substantially along an entire edge of the stack.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 printing a second label display sheet; and    positioning the second label display sheet adjacent an opposite end of the divided stack of objects from the first label display sheet.
