SELECTING KEYWORDS
Click to select any individual keyword. Select a range of consecutive
keywords the same way you select consecutive records: click to select
the first keyword in the range, then either drag over the rest of the
keywords you want to select, or hold down the Shift key as you click
the last keyword in the range. Each keyword you select will be
highlighted.
To select nonconsecutive keywords, hold down the Command (z)
key as you click each additional keyword.
FINDING KEYWORDS
To find a particular keyword in the Keyword List for a collection,
choose Find Keyword from the Keyword menu. In the dialog box
that appears, type the keyword (or part of a keyword) that you want
to look for, then click Find.
The Keyword List for the active collection will display the first
keyword found containing the text you entered. To find another
keyword containing the same text (if one exists), choose Find Next
Keyword from the Keyword menu.
ADDING KEYWORDS TO A COLLECTION
In the Keyword List for a collection, you can type in new keywords
by hand, drag or copy keywords from another collection, or import
keywords from a text file (see “Importing Keywords From a Text
File” on page 8-6).
In addition, you can add keywords for each folder in the Finder path
of a source file automatically when you acquire the file (see
“Changing Options for Acquiring Files” on page 6-16).
To type in new keywords to a collection:
STEP 1 Open the Keyword List for the collection.
STEP 2 Select New Keyword from the Keyword menu, or click the New
Keyword button in the button panel.
A key symbol followed by a text entry box appears in the
main area of the Keywords window.
If there are keywords in the Keyword List, the highlighted
entry box appears below the keyword. (To add a keyword
below a specific keyword, click that keyword to highlight it.
If more than one keyword is selected, the new keyword will
appear below the first highlighted keyword.)
