half my key words are lost

[icedog]

Half my key words are not saved and it is very frustrating. It seems to happen when I add new key words to those already typed in. Everything from the new post on is lost even when I save it it does not show up later. Any idea what is going on? I use MAC OSX 10.4.11, 2GB RAM.

I AM using the IPTC info dialog. The original words entered later show up in "quotes"  in photoshop but everything entered after the first set of quotes does not later show up when I later open up the IPTC info in Photoshop CS3. And anything entered in the middle of the original key words does not show up as well as anything after that. It seems to be a problem with where the "   "  end.

It sounds like you're using the IPTC Stationery Pad instead of the IPTC Info dialog and you're choosing not to append the new keywords.

Thanks Kirk, but that was not it. I was using the Fine Info section accessed by clicking the lower right "i" on the photo.
