Calyx RIM 7.0 Publishing

Tabs

Like cover pages, tab sheets are used to divide content in a submission and serve as a navigational aid. Tab sheets are unique to the paper output channel and cannot be included in the electronic output channel.

With tab sheets, you can insert variable text, or up to three lines of manual text, to appear on the tab. Other configurable settings include text wrap, font type, font style, font size, and vertical or horizontal positioning.

Note: You must specify printer publishing settings before you can select or insert special sheets in your assembly.

Generating and Previewing Individual Tabs

Tabs can be generated and previewed individually from the tab itself. A tab preview must first be generated from the Generate File option; it can then be previewed using the View Tab option.

The preview function does not display the actual tab positions. Preview is meant to test for variable resolution, and to ensure that the tab text is not running over the side of the tab printable area. Your fully published output will show the tab text in the correct position as defined by your Tab Publishing Settings for the assembly.

Tab Review File

A Tab Review File can be generated from the Assembly root by selecting the Generate Tab Review File option. After review file has been created it can be viewed using the View Tab Review File option. Generating a tab review file creates a single file containing all of the tabs in the Assembly for review.
  • Generating an individual tab will overwrite the bulk file when it creates the single file preview.
  • You are not required to generate tabs prior to publishing. The publishing request executes this step automatically. Generating tabs prior to publish is only necessary for reviewing tab content.

Unicode Characters in Tabs

You must use the MS Mincho font to properly display Unicode characters in Tab Preview.
