I don't understand why you're having a problem! To me, it's a very simple matter of, as I enter the data in the Notes, to click one of 3 displayed tags. Before you start, decide which tag you're going to use and give it a meaningful description. Each individual that you enter data in the Notes for should have the same tag set. Later on, I can then create a list of all those individuals that have that tag set. Using the list, I can then work through them one at a time, and when finished, click on the tag again to remove it, thus taking them off the list. Have you read up on the Advanced Tagging window? Right-click on one of the 3 tags displayed on an individual and you'll see the options. Here you can assign that description I mentioned and, through the big button at the bottom, decide which 3 of the 9 tags to show. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergr...@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
