In the newest version of Legacy, there is a new tool that allows you to search
for people in your database that may appear in the 1940 census. After creating
this search list, I would like to tag the people in the list.

Thanks Mike and Tim. That works for me. I had returned to the family view
after creating the list and then decided to tag it. I right clicked on the tag
boxes to get to Advanced Tagging. It opens the same screen as the method you
use but the "Tag Everyone in the search list" is grayed out

I thought I had used this method before but perhaps I am wrong. It is strange
that the search list is still available and can be used in other parts of the
program but not Advanced tagging when accessed using the method I described.
No big deal, just strange.

Make sure that the text [MRIN] appears in the box with the title of the
