Elizabeth,
They are listed in the order they are entered (At least I think they
are) so if you enter a new one, it will be the bottom one on the list.
If the name tag is already attached to a tag, it doesn't have to be
reselected. Just make the changes and it will be changed in the other
tag as well.

Teresa,

I have a question for you (or anyone, really) regarding using multiple
name tags. I think your idea is a good one to set up a name tag for
each census; on some of them a closer look has revealed that what I
thought was "Jessie" was actually "Jesse", or something like that, and
then it's easy to make that change and know it's reflected in the right
place.

But, when selecting someone's name to use when in a Tag Entry screen,
how do you know which name in the drop-down menu goes with which name
tag? I might have three of the same in a row, and I want to make sure I

pick the right one (again, so that if I change that name at a later
date, it changes only in the appropriate place). Are they in the same
order that they are sorted in the Person View?

It sure would be nice if the name of the Tag appeared next to the name
output in that drop-down menu on the Tag Entry screen so that I could
easily, quickly, and with confidence select the right name to use.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
Austin, Texas
