TAG Sentences

Recommended Posts

I am back to TMG after a few years away! I must be missing something obvious but I don't know what.

 

I added a new tag to "other events". It seemed to auto pick up some form of default sentence structure. I want to customise this sentence but can't seem to get in to change it.

 

From TAG Type List I select my TAg and hit EDIT. In Roles and Sentences I see an empty sentence structure panel but I cannot enter anything into it! Rebuild Sentence does nothing.

 

What am I missing ? thanks Roger

When you create a custom tag type, the default sentence is always the English (U.S.) sentence. The sentence fields for the other languages will be empty. You can change the language on the Tag Type Definition screen to English (U.S.) and edit the default sentence or enter a new sentence in the language that you are using.

Thanks Jim . . . On Tag Type Def "General" screen I am offered "default styles" of "Use Dat Set defualt stye" or "US Standard Place " or "UK Standard Place". No matter what I set that to when I go to "Roles & Sentences" the edit box is greyed out and I cannot even put a curser into the sentence structure box. Roger

The style selection has nothing to do with editing the sentence so I'm not sure why you're messing with that.

 

The problem is that you are in the Beginner data entry mode.

 

File / Preferences / Program Options / Data Entry / change the Data Entry Mode to Advanced
