I would like to be able to recommend a tags view. The screen captures, and sometimes the procedures
in my documentation, are dependent on the tags view. Since I use Text mode 99% of the time, I would appreciate advice on the most usable, or the most commonly used, tags view.<br><br>
One of the training developers is experienced in Structured FrameMaker; the others have little or no experience with a structured authoring tool.<br><br>
Thanks.<br><br>
