Every tab media has a [Cycle length]. The number of tabs shown at one time in the [Preview] view is equal to the [Cycle length] for this tab media. The [Cycle length] is defined in the [Media Catalog] for every tab media.
For a correct position of the tab caption text you must define the [Top / bottom indent] in the [Media Catalog]. The [Top / bottom indent] is the distance between the top of the tab media and the top of its first tab.
You have to define the order of the tabs in the document type.
Use the [Tab captions] dialog to define the text on the tabs of the tab sheets in your document. A document can contain either bleed tabs or tab media. The [Preview] view shows how the tab captions are printed on the tabs.
You must create a group of tab captions for each different tab media that you use in your document. You can define a maximum of 4 different tab groups. You can define all tab captions before you add the tab sheets to your document.
NOTE
A document can contain either bleed tabs or tab media.

For example, the tab set contains five tab sheets. Select the fourth tab caption. Click the [Start set] button. Then the selected tab caption becomes the first tab caption of a new set of tab sheets. The unused tab sheets of the previous set - in this example the tab sheets four and five - are discarded. Now, the tab captions continue on a new set of tab sheets. The [Start set] button changes into [Continue set] for the first tab of the new set of tab sheets. Click the [Continue set] button to undo this action.
