This is a great idea, Karen.

I like the idea of grouping the tagging tool analyses into separate
pieces based on specific tagging tasks or groups of related tags -
especially since tools like Acrobat DC and Word 365 now seem to be
updating and changing the way they behave more frequently. When trying
to fix things, I find it very helpful to be able to identify where a
specific problem originates, whether I can fix it by editing the source
file, and what other options might become available by switching tools.

I noticed some changes to the way Acrobat DC and Word 365 were managing
Table of Contents recently, but it takes time to pin down what exactly
is going on.

Phil.
