Keyword Tags Categories and Sub-Categories
As you start to build a list of Keyword Tags to be used with your Elements
it can become more and more difficult to manage the list of entries. For this
reason Adobe has included the option to create Keyword Tag categories
and sub categories. This provides a great structure for organizing your
tags. Categories are the upper most level, with sub-categories sitting be-
neath. These can be created by selecting the entry from the green '+' menu
in the top left of the panel. Individual Keyword Tags can be added at any
level.
