Ultimately, your stick on labels will probably be much easier, but you can make a template for the dividers you print on directly.

For printing directly onto the card dividers I have set up a template in Word where I made the document landscape then added a 1 row table across the top with the number of columns that I had for the dividers (5 in my case). I made sure the cells were aligned so that text in them printed on each divider tab.

If you only need to do a few at a time, you just type the divider text in the table cell that matches up with the position of the divider you're putting in the printer.

If you need a lot of them though, I think you'll need a macro. When I did this it was for a client so I used VBA to develop a macro to let the typist type in the list of label names. The macro then looped through all the divider text entries and created a separate page for each entry and put the "next" item in the next cell on each page, cycling through the positions. My client could then put a stack of dividers in the printer and as long as the top divider started in the same spot as the text in the table cell they were good to go.
