I am working on cleaning up data and adding names to tags, and it
occurred to me that if I could do the following it sure would speed up
data entry.



1) Assign a NAME style to a NAME-tag type. IE. If I used the
1920CENSUS name tag, I could assign the 1920 CENSUS Name style to that
tag, and it would automatically use that name style when I selected that
name tag.



2) Assign NAME tags to a certain type of tag. IE. If I added a
1920CENSUS tag, then it would automatically assume that any name tags
attached to that tag would use the 1920CENSUS Name tag.



3) Assign PLACE styles to certain types of tags. IE. If I added a
1920CENSUS tag, then it would automatically use the CIVIL DISTRICT place
style.



4) I would be able to change any of these and they would be users
creatable, even with new styles and tag types.



Currently, I create a new tag, change the place style, create a new name
tag, change the name style, add the name tag to the new tag. Repeat.
If I forget a step, then when the report prints, it looks different from
what I was expecting, and I have to hunt to find where I made my
mistake. Yes, I know that I can use John's Utility to do what I want
globally, but I am requesting that TMG do this for the user. This would
be an advanced feature, but I am sure once more people began to use 5.0
and styles, it would be greatly appreciated.
