To tag text within a text frame
1 Choose View > Layout View.
2 Make sure that the text frame in which the text appears is tagged. (If the frame isn’t tagged when you try to tag text
within the frame, InCopy tags the story using default tags.)
3 Do one of the following:
• Using the Type tool , select text within a text frame, and then click a tag in the Tags palette. (If you select all of
the text within the frame, the tag is applied to the frame, not to the block of text, unless you’ve selected Add Tag
in the Tags palette.)
• Automatically tag text to which paragraph or character styles have been applied using the Map Styles to Tags
command.
To retag page items
1 Select the Type tool
2 Do one of the following:
.
• Select the text or text frame, and then click a different tag in the Tags palette.
• Place the insertion point in a tagged text frame within a story element (not a child element). Select Retag at the
top of the Tags palette, and click a different tag in the Tags palette to retag the text frame.
• Select the entire block of text to which a tag has been applied, select Retag at the top of the Tags palette, and click
a different tag. (If you select Add Tag at the top of the Tags palette and then click a different tag, a new child
element will appear in the Structure pane.)
