Your links do not help, they did not gave me clue what is required of a tag to be able to ask a question on this site.
Please try again with an example what is needed to be able to ask a question
Ok, another useless link.
In the link I found
"What are tags?
Tags are topics related to your thread that help group and organize all the content on Microsoft Q&A. You can add tags to any kind of post by searching from a wide range of topics at the bottom of a thread that you are creating. "
there are no "wide range of topics at the bottom of a thread", how do you search for a topic when you enter a word from the error message and nothing is returned, how do you guess what its looking for with out a clue?
Please do not respond with another link

Well, like any question?
It depends on what context!
So, say in Excel, or Word?
Well, the term “tag” and use of a tag really does not come much into play.
However, if you talking about web development, or even say MS-Access development? Then a tag is VERY useful and often used.
So, say if you have 20 controls on a form (say desktop software).
I might want to have a button to say “hide” 5 controls on the form.
So, in those 5 controls, I could in the forms designer give each control a tag name – any name I want. Say “MyHideGroup”.
Now, I can in code say hide those controls with this code:
For each MyControl in controls
If MyControl.Tag = “MyHideGroup” then
MyControl.Visible = False
End if
Next
So above is air code – but that would hide all controls on the form with a tag called “MyHideGroup”.
However, it also possible that your question and use of the term “tag” is being used under a different context.
You might not be talking about say Access desktop software, and in web land a “tag” can have a different meaning and context.
But, even in web land, controls do have a tag property, and thus the above ideas and concepts can be used, and do apply.
However, the context of the term tag would and does require some context, else you might be asking about some “price tag” you put on an item for sale in a store.
So, if you asking about what is a tag, and what you use them for? But the context is a retail store? Then the term and concept “tag” can have a very different meaning.
