I use a few tags and usually two or three will apply to all entries in a
particular file, e.g. :work:Client:OpenFile: or :Personal:Home:
All my tags are in my .emacs using the org-tag-alist and I want to use
these consistently.
Is there a way to access org-tag-alist from the in-buffer settings
#+FILETAGS or #+TAGS? C-c C-c, of course, refreshes the local setting;
C-c C-q gives an error(?) message "Before first headline at position 1
in buffer . . ."
At the moment my work around is: start the file's first line with
*<spc>#+FILETAGS, then C-c C-c, and after setting tags delete the *<spc>.
My system is Windows 7 (home Premium), emacs 24.0.93.1, org 7.8.03
If I have overlooked something obvious or easily researched, just say so
and I'll continue looking for the answer.
BTW, I'm a freelance paralegal. Amongst other uses, a few months ago I
used org to draft a contract (from my notes kept in the org file), then
exported to LaTeX, then to pdf to print the final draft.
