Meta data tags for files in MS Windows 7

In Windows 7 (PC) I am learning how to use "ADD TAGS" file properties with the aim of improving the searching for files.

Am I right in thinking that it IS possible to Tag the properties of these files: DOC PPT XLS JPEG, but NOT possible to tag these file types: DOCX PPTX XLSX GIF PDF.

What is the reason behind these differences?

Tagging old file types is less than fully useful! Do some editions of Windows 7 tag more type types than others?

thanks

The ability to create tags for files depends upon the file type, and not on the version of Windows 7.  See this page for some discussion of the subject:
