What is a Tag in the Content Control Properties dialog box?
In the Content Control Properties dialog box for a particular form control
such as the rich text form control, there are two entries: Name and Tag. I can understand what name is, but what is tag? If I enter text here, where does it go and what does it do? I imagine it's something to do with XML, but could someone please clarify? Thanks! -- cmc |

What is a Tag in the Content Control Properties dialog box?
The tag is strictly for use by macros and programs. The only place in
the user interface where it's visible is in that dialog. The purpose is to help a program to distinguish between different controls that may have the same name (strictly speaking, the Title), or to hold any other metadata about the control that your application needs. The VBA help describes the tag this way: "The Tag property is different from the Title property in that a tag is never displayed while a user edits a document. Instead, developers can use it to store a value for programmatic manipulation while the document is opened." -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
