To tag an object, simply right-click, select "Tag" from the context menu, and you will be given a choice of numbers or letters. Pick the number or letter you wish to use and you are done.

= Help! I get lots of weird text after changing a setting =

If you made a change to a Preset (such as adding 'Invading Precursor Entities') and then saved it, you will find the Preset name now has text like <code><color=0xFFFFFF66></code> in front. This is a result of a safety feature built into the EVE Client to strip HTML coding from text entered in-game. But it's fairly easy to fix, and here's how (it can be done while EVE is still running):

# Open Overview Settings in-game, and switch to the 'Misc' tab.

# Click {{button|Export Overview Settings}}

# Select 'Check All' at the top, and give a memorable Filename (such as <em>charactername-month-day</em>) and click {{button|export}}

# You will receive a message indicating where the file was saved. By default on Windows, this is in C:\Users\[username]\Documents\EVE\Overview\[filename].yaml

# Browse to this directory in your file manager, and open the file in your favorite text editor.

# With your text editor's "Find and Replace" feature, look for and replace the following :

:::: Replace all {{co|red||&lt;}} with {{co|#00FF00||<}}

:::: Replace all {{co|red||&gt;}} with {{co|#00FF00||>}}

# Save the file and return to EVE Online

# Open Overview Settings in-game and switch to the 'Misc' tab again.

# Click {{button|Reset All Overview Settings}}

# Click {{button|Import Overview Settings}}

# Select the file name you just edited, and be sure to check the 'Check All' box.

# Click {{button|Import}}

Your overview colors should now be restored.

Note that you may use this same 'fixed' save file on other characters if you wish them to have the same overview settings.
