Hi Larry, That is interesting...because I tagged this document and it still looked like a dog's breakfast :( Tagging has some problems, I have found it can be unpredictable-it really depends on the document. Personally I hate Acrobat 5 with a passion-why is it so hard to do things? Just my Sun rant ;) I think a plain HTML doc would be the easiest right now.
