Cranberry - there is an easier way (I also have been known to scream when getting caught in the tagging merry-go-round)
easier: Choose: Name List from the menu Click: search button at bottom of Name list screen Choose: show all tagged on (whatever tag number you chose) On right side: open the sources tab Use the down arrow key to scroll through the names Ana On 7/5/2011 7:08 AM, [email protected] wrote: > I just sent the following in as a suggestion to Legacy.
