Marie and Rich, Basically tagging is a way of identifying individuals to whom you wish to apply further actions, often it is used in conjuntion with a search.
For example you could search for all individuals born in 1900, tag them with, say tag 1, then export all those with a tag of 1 to a GEDCOM or a Legacy file so that either only contain those born in 1900. Up to 9 tags are available, and you can combine them by search for individuals who have both tag 1 and tag 2 for example. Some users use the higher tag numbers to permanently identify individuals with particular relationships or attributes, although I don't. Once you get in to them you will find plenty of uses for them!
