Thank you for all of the help everyone has given me today.  I have had a bunch of unanswered questions up until this point....and I have one more.

 I am trying to keynote, and when I attach a note to something a question mark comes up.  I know where the text files that revit provides are, but I am not sure how to insert or load them into the program to get the text on the drawings that I want.

when I key note something I would like it to just read the name, for example, "rigid insulation"

If you click the question mark, you should get a dialouge box that will let you select a keynote. What I have done instead of keynoting is create a new tag called generic text, and the create a new shared parameter Cryinginstance not type) that applies to almost everything. I then have a blank property that I can fill with any text I want Cryingrigid insulation, 6" studs @16"o.c. etc.). This is the text I use in the generic tag. Let me know if that was to confusing, it made sense in my head.

Did you create the new generic text tag based on the keynote tag.  I'm trying to figure out what you did so I can do the same.  And also, does your new tag work in schedules?

I have changed the way I do it just a little bit. I created a new multi-catagory tag, and used the "General Text" shared parameter. This lets me use a single generic tag for almost everything, and a type specific tag with the same "General Text" parameter for the fer things you can't use a multi-catagory tag on (i.e. floors). You can use the parameter in schedules.
