I think it is very likely that you didn't create the biography-tag
yourself. After I switched to TMG about a year or so ago, I imported
my old data from UFT. This imported dataset had a biography-tag
for almost every person. The biography-tags for the most part
contained the same information I previously had recorded in UFT's
"biographical text"-fields. It was much later that I found out that
the biography-tag was a custom tag.

I am quite certain that I did not make the biography-tag myself,
because I didn't know what a custom tag was at the time I imported
my data from UFT. My guess is that TMG created this custom tag
during the import-process. Maybe someone on the list knows if this
might be the case?

Could your biography-tag also be the result of a similar data-import?
(You may have mentioned imports previously, but unfortunately I have
deleted the earlier posts in this thread).
