regenerated the html and now they all appear modified - I think its minor formatting stuff, but thought I'd commit it all anyway

13We now add a metadata item -- both element and value -- to a file. First select
14the file from the Collection file tree on the left. The action causes any
15metadata previously assigned to this file to appear in the table at the right.
16<p></p>
17Next select the metadata element you want to add by clicking its row in the
18table.
19<p></p>
20Type the value into the value field. Use the "|" character to add structure, as described in <a href="theenrichview.htm#theenrichview">The Enrich View</a>. Pressing the [Up] or [Down] arrow keys will save the metadata value and move the selection appropriately. Pressing [Enter] will save the metadata value and create a new empty entry for the metadata element, allowing you to assign multiple values to a metadata element.
21<p></p>
22You can also add metadata to a folder, or to several multiply selected files at
23once. It is added to all files within the folder or selection, and to child
24folders. Keep in mind that if you assign metadata to a folder, any new files in
25it automatically inherit the folder's values.
