David - many thanks for your email. I am looking at the Edit screen and have 
highlighted my object but cannot see the properties dialogue box because I do 
not seem to have a panel on the right side, only the 'Help' and 'search' panels 
on the left. Pressing Alt+p has no effect and using a capital 'P'  just sets 
Windows Media Player going!
I have attached a screen dump of  Edit page screen and hope you can point me in 
the right direction. I am having difficulty  finding info. on using the OSM 
procedures - is there a manual available somewhere?
Regards
Tony Grimley

  What you want is the properties dialog box, which should be in the right hand 
dialog panel.  If not then Alt+P will bring it up.

  When you have selected an object you will see its' tags listed in the 
properties dialog, and the add / delete / edit buttons allow you to add new 
tags, edit existing tags, or delete existing tags.

  David

    Adrian - Many thanks for your prompt reply. Having only used the preset 
process, I do not know how to enter the information you suggest. Please take me 
through the procedure.
    Thanks!

      >  I am in my first week of mapping and have uploaded a GPX file which 
sets out the boundary of a local Nature Reserve. I cannot find a preset item 
listed to categorise it, add the name and fill the area with the appropriate 
colour.

      I use:

      leisure=nature_reserve
      natural=whatever
      name=whatever
