Read the manual I wrote, also available on Chris Johnson's site, once 
over. Print it. Then with the manual next to you slowly start using 
IdxPro. After some time your working flow will accelerate. Do this 
with the windoze version, goes much faster.

I do not see why. As long as you change your actual document. Of

your tags.
