4. (Optional) By default, keyword will be the selected text. The phrase "Keyword defined by Text" is displayed in the Keyword field. If you would prefer to use another keyword, use one of these options:
   • If you would like to assign one or more existing keywords to the text, select the appropriate check box(es).

   • If you would like to add a new keyword to the list and assign it, in the Keywords area, click Add New Keyword. An editable keyword will be created, titled "New Keyword." Type the new keyword within the box, and press ENTER. Select the keyword check box.

     To create a secondary keyword, select a keyword and click Add Secondary Keyword. Type the new secondary keyword within the box, and press ENTER. Select the keyword check box.

5. (Optional) If you want to hide the tag, you can select the Hide properties in document. Clearing the Visible check box will hide the text in your source document. See Showing Hidden Hotspots.
