Changing attributes with the Tag inspector

You can use the Tag inspector to edit tags and objects using a property sheet similar to the ones
found in other integrated development environments (IDEs).
Note: The Tag inspector and the Property inspector both allow you to view and edit a tag's attributes.
The Tag inspector enables you to view and edit every attribute associated with a given tag. The
Property inspector shows only the most common attributes, but provides a richer set of controls for
changing those attributes' values, and allows you to edit certain objects (such as table columns) that
don't correspond to specific tags.
To edit attributes using the Tag inspector:
Do one of the following in the Document window:
1
In Code view (or the Code inspector), click anywhere in a tag's name or in its contents.
In Design view, select an object, or select a tag in the Tag Selector.
Open the Tag inspector (Window > Tag Inspector), and select the Attributes tab.
2
The selection's attributes and their current values appear in the Tag inspector.
Do any of the following in the Tag inspector:
3
To view the attributes organized by category, click the Show Category View button.
To view the attributes in an alphabetical list, click the Show List View button.
To change an attribute value, select the value and edit it (see the procedure below).
To add a value for an attribute with no value, click in the attribute-value column to the right
of the attribute and add a value (see the procedure below).
To delete an attribute value, select the value and press Backspace (Windows) or Delete
(Macintosh).
To change the name of an attribute, select the attribute name and edit it.
Note: If you change the name of a standard attribute and then add a value for that attribute, the
attribute and its new value move to the appropriate category.
To add a new attribute not already listed, click in the empty space below the last listed
attribute name and type a new attribute name.
Press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh), or click elsewhere in the Tag inspector, to
