For senses with more than one example, you can move the examples up or down to change their order within the sense. In addition, using two open windows, you can use drag and drop to move an example and its associated fields to another existing sense or lexical entry.
In the Navigation Pane, click Lexicon, and then click Lexicon Edit.
In the sense of the entry that has more than one example, click an Example field label.
A menu button () appears.
Click the menu button, and then click one of the following commands:
Move Example Up
Move Example Down
The examples and their associated fields are reordered.
In the Navigation Pane, click Lexicon, and then select Lexicon Edit.
Resize the FLEx window so that it is not maximized (full screen). Otherwise the new window may be hidden behind the first window.
On the Window menu, click New Window.
With Lexicon Edit displayed in both windows, do the following:
In one window, select the source entry (has the Example field you will move).
In the other window, select the destination entry (the entry that has the sense into which you will move the example).
Reposition and resize the two windows, and then scroll the Entry panes, until you can see both
the Example field you want to move in the source entry window, and
an Example field which is not used in the destination entry window. Make sure that Example field is in the desired sense.
Tip: Collapse the width of the Entries panes. Then you can make both windows very narrow, but see the Entry panes fully.
In the source Entry pane, click and hold the mouse button on the Example field label you want to move. Drag the mouse pointer over the Example field label in the destination entry, and then release the mouse button.
The example and its associated fields move to the destination entry.
Click the green arrow ( or
) to return a collapsed pane to its previous width, if necessary.
When the mouse pointer is over an invalid drop location, it appears as a circle with a line through it.
When the mouse pointer is over a valid drop location, it changes back to your normal pointer, but with a small rectangle indicating there is content waiting to be dropped.
