How Would You Like to Save Your Documents?

RazzmaTag gives you two ways to save your files, and you should consider these carefully depending on whether you are tagging or untagging files. The two ways are:

1. As text (.txt).

2. As Word documents (.doc).

Saving as Text

If you’re tagging documents, I recommend saving them as text. Doing so removes all formatting, leaving only your tags to indicate what the formatting should be. It also improves your odds of successfully importing the files into a typesetting program. Finally, it leaves your original Word documents in their pristine, formatted, untagged condition. (On rare occasions, however, you may want to save your newly tagged files as Word documents so you can identify obscure formatting you might have left out of your master list.)

WARNING: If you untag documents and then save them as text, not only will all of your formatting be lost, but your tags will be lost as well, since you’ve just untagged the documents. So please, I beg you, back up your files before using RazzmaTag. Then you’ll have something to go back to if you need to do so. The Editorium cannot be held responsible for files that don’t turn out the way you want them to. To help guard against this problem, if you are untagging files and say that you want to save them as text, RazzmaTag will ask you to confirm that this is really your intention.

Please note that you should not usually tag and untag documents on the same master list. If you do, you may run into problems.

Saving as Word Documents

If you’re untagging documents, I recommend saving them as Word documents. Actually, that only makes any sense, because the whole point is to restore formatting to tagged text. If you save them as text files, all of that formatting will be lost. Also, if you’ve just untagged text files, saving them as Word documents will leave your original text files in their pristine, unformatted, tagged condition.

WARNING: If you tag Word documents, saving them as Word documents will overwrite your existing documents. So please, I beg you, back up your files before using RazzmaTag. Then you’ll have something to go back to if you need to do so. The Editorium cannot be held responsible for files that don’t turn out the way you want them to. To help guard against this problem, if you are tagging files and say that you want to save them as Word documents, RazzmaTag will ask you to confirm that this is really your intention.

Please note that you should not usually untag and tag documents on the same master list. If you do, you’ll run into problems.
