Q: Mac OS X 10.11.6 Finder hangs every time I save a Pages document with tags assigned
Ever since the latest Mac OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan update and Pages (version 5.6.2 (2573)) update, whenever I save a new Pages document with tags assigned, it causes Finder to hang as Pages tries to save the file. Spinning colored wheel of death. The Pages file is, in fact, saved, but it causes Finder to hang and nothing will bring Finder back except a Relaunch. Summary Information from hang reports (two) included below. Solution?
