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.

I hope my occupation is not the reason for the "no response" to my
question and comments two weeks ago.
