Create a phone directory Solved

Question

Hello,
I want to create a phone directory in Office to print it later, but I'm not quite sure how to do it.
I think I will do it in Word, but I'm looking for how to put the corresponding letter on the side of the page.
The model I want would be like
________________________________
Name Address Number A |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
________________________________|
________________________________
Name Address Number |
B |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
________________________________|

But I don't see how to automatically place the letter on the side.
Could you help me?
Thank you

Here's how I proceeded:
* File/Page Layout/Paper/Paper Size/A5.
* File/Page Layout/Margins/ Left 2cm; Right 0.5cm; Top 1.25cm; Bottom 1.5cm.
* Word table with 4 columns, the last one intended to create an alphabetical index after cutting.
* Table Properties/Row/ uncheck the option "Allow row to break across pages..." and for row 1 check the option "Repeat header row on each page...".
* Table Properties/Cell/ check "Vertical Alignment/Centre".
* Table Properties/Cell/Options/ keep the default options: "Same as ..." and "Link to ..." remain checked, "fit to text" remains unchecked.

Use:
* Even if the first page, index A, is not filled in, proceed to page 2, index B, to enter names starting with B.
* If multiple pages are needed for names starting with B, keep the index B only for the first of them.
* For the letters XYZ, they can be placed on a single tab, changing the font and character size.
* This example is designed for single-sided printing, portrait orientation, stapled on the left.

I remain at your disposal.

To be clearer, since the layout doesn't hold on the site, I would like to add indexes, which I would cut out after printing, to find the letter faster...
Like the notebooks designed for making directories, really...

By definition, a directory is meant to be updated constantly.
The address book you buy at the stationery store gives you this ability: you add, you modify, you delete.
A directory you print from your computer will require you to frequently reprint pages that have been modified; and the pages of your directory will be stapled, held together with a paperclip, inserted in a binder with holes? You can see the work involved!
Consult your directory on your screen.
If you need your phone numbers at any time, store them on your mobile phone.
But your idea doesn't seem very practical.

That said (to be at peace with my conscience), all you need to do is use the margin and tab stops on the ruler to achieve the paragraph format that works for you.

For your soul; I'm making this notebook for my parents, who understand nothing about computers...
I would like that during the modification (only during the creation, afterwards it won't change for a long time), everything follows along as the pages are created...
In the meantime, I'm working with Word and an integrated binder, with an image for the index, which I will then cut out.

Thank you, Raymond ;-)
I like the idea, I'll keep it on hand for the next one, since I've finished mine (I found another trick, which is to draw the index in software, then I typed in Word normally)
