Alas! If only I used Microsoft Word. If I look hard I might be able to find five .doc files on my entire computer.
What you're suggesting does not work for RTF, PDF, TXT, ODS, HTML, EML, ZIP, MHT ... Almost of all of my genealogy has been downloaded or scanned as image files and GeoSetter works fine, as does Photo Mechanic and XnView as I mentioned previously. GIF, PNG and BMP cannot be tagged with anything. JPG and TIFF, of course, can be. Opening my genealogy folders of almost 17,000 files show me over 90% image files. The rest are mostly RTF, PDF, TXT, HTML or EML, none of which can be tagged with Windows. So I guess that leaves Windows tagging DOCX besides it's usual, wholly inadequate, tagging of JPGs and TIFFs. ----- JL Beeken JLog - simple computer technology for genealogists http://jlog.jgen.ws/ On 3/16/2013 11:42 AM, Ron Walter wrote: > JL > > In windows explorer, highlight a file, and at the bottom of the explorer > panel there are a number of fields displayed and tags is among them.
