TABBLEs are written to the TAGs collection in OFFICE documents (under INFO > Properties)
Thus the TAGs remain with the document whether the filename or location changes: through email, for instance.
{Scenario: you email a document to yourself from your laptop (with TABBLES) to your office computer (with a cloned TABBLES database).}
When this ‘renamed and/or relocated’ document is opened in TABBLES, you will see the TABBLES have remained, but ONLY THOSE TABBLES that coincide in both machines’ TABBLES database.
In other words, TAGS in OFFICE documents that are not in your TABBLES database still remain in the document, but a (new) TABBLE is NOT CREATED from the TAG name.
! this is as one would expect !
