Yes, I believe that inline cells are generally treated as the contents of the cell that contains them. If you take a look at the ASCII source of a notebook that is saved to disk (with a text editor) you will see that, after the Notebook expression that represents the content of the notebook, there is a variety of cache information that represents the mapping of the cells in the notebook. Though much of this is inscrutable--and completely undocumented--you can see that some information like the Noteook's CellIDs and CellTags are contained in it. But, inline cells do not appear in it. To deal with finding in-line cells via, for example, NotebooKFind you'd need to look for the CellContents rather than any tags. I have not checked whether hidden information in that inline cell would be found in this way (such as a CellTag or an option value). Another approach would be to read in the whole notebook and use pattern matching to find the inline cell and then to find the cell that contains it, and so on... Of course for a large notebook this miht be a slow process. BEst, Davdi On Nov 1, 6:06 am, dr DanW <dmaxwar... at gmail.com> wrote: > David, > Does tagging work with Inline cells?
