Tags (SimpleTagInfo)
Several Simple Tag Info components, also known as “simple tags” or “tags”, are available in the Tags folder of the tagdictionary palette. Use these when creating a custom tag dictionary to populate the tag definitions list. Drag these tags from the palette to the Tag Definitions folder in the tag dictionary’s property sheet to create the tag definitions for that dictionary.
