I've got a major problem with how programmers write the (un)-Help files. And the Legacy programmers are no exception. I came across this example today.
I wanted to do some major tagging of my database so that I can review each person's data and clean it up. So, I decided to tag everyone in my file and then untag each person when I completed the person's data review. So, I went to the Help files and looked up Advanced Tagging. The Help File reads as follows: "The Advanced Tagging window is used to quickly tag or untag families and other larger groups of related people. Entire lines can be tagged (or untagged) with the click of a button." Yet, no where does it tell the user of the software where to find the Advanced Tagging window! Why not????? Well, I'm not a newbie but I don't always use some features like tagging. So, after more than a half hour or so of reviewing past emails and by clicking around the program, I finally found the Advanced Tagging window. But why didn't the Help Files identify this in the first place? Sorry to vent so, but that's my pet peeve with the alleged Help files!
