11. Where do I find my saved Meta Tags?

You will find the saved Meta Tags at the top of the page of the metatag.htm file.
You can copy and paste the Meta Tags as they are on the top of the page to your Web Page if you edit your Web Page using a text editor such as Notepad. If you're using a html editor such as FrontPage, copy and paste the Meta Tags from the View Source Window:

Right click anywhere on this page and Select

View Source (in Windows Explorer)
View Page Source (in Netscape)

to view the html code for your Meta Tags on this page.

You can:

Copy and paste the Meta Tags (at the top of this page or the top of the View Source page) to your html page.
Use this page as a template for your Web Pages:

To use this page as a template, merely delete all the content between the <body> and </body> tags and add your own content.
Do not use this page as a template in the MetaTag folder as it will be overwritten the next time metatag.exe is opened and a meta tag is saved. So, be sure to copy it to another folder or rename it first.
