What are keywords?

Keywords are used to help classify or index the content in your document. When users are looking of information on the web, they type keywords into:

1. search engines (i.e., Google or Yahoo) or
2. search fields available in websites
   (many web sites have search boxes to help users locate information).

The goal is to list "buzz" words in the keywords field in your document's properties so that your document will be listed in the results of these searches.
