  1. In the dialog box, choose one of the tags from the tag list or enter your own tag and press Enter.

    You can add as many tags as you want.

    1. To add multiple tags at once in the text field, separate your keywords with non-breaking spaces.

      To create a non-breaking space, hold the key Alt while typing 0160 with the number block.

  1. If you have finished, click on the button OK (Figure 4, “Button OK”).

    Your tags will be added to the element. They are displayed along with the metadata on the bottom of the library window (Figure 5, “Metadata Info Tags”).

    1. If you have added multiple tags at once using non-breaking spaces, close the empower® Library and open it again to view the separate tags.

      After closing the tag editor, the tags will first be displayed as one single tag.
