John, that would be the quickest and easiest method (tags are so easily “attached”); then the lastname CAPS settings would suit everyone’s preferences (on screen, and printed).
I’m still coming to grips with Notes and Sources – I’m still wearing Learner plates for both genealogy research and this software (which is excellent).

Having been married twice I use tag 1 for all the relations of the children of my second marriage and tag 3 for those of my first. When I open the family view for an individual I can immediately see, in the tag fields, to which side of the family an individual is connected. Anyone who is tagged in both categories is then by default a blood relative of mine.

That way I can tell at a glance which person is mine. By setting the relationship settings high enough, I can see how deep the 'cousins' go. Most of the time, I do not search for anyone born after about 1950, but since those folks are now in their 60's, it is time to begin checking up on them. I use Tag #3 because it shows up on the Name list and I do not have to change the settings. Also, since I know what it is being used for, I do not mess with it once the relationships are set up. I do update the relationships when I have been adding or deleting folks. I use the far left col of the regular index for my Relationship Col. The folks who are not related have a blank in the Col, so it is easy to see who is not related and equally easy to see who is a 5th cousin 2x removed. I do not use RIN's on the Index - Customizing the index is very helpful. I hope this helps.
