22 There is a quick and easy way of attaching synonyms to a taxon record:
25 1. In the
<strong>Taxon Navigator
</strong> panel, double-click the taxon to which you want to attach a synonym; this will open the record in the
<strong>Taxon Name
</strong>panel if it is not already open (see
<strong>Activating Taxon Records
</strong> on page
25 for more information).
28 2. Click in the
<strong>Taxon Name
</strong> panel to the right of any text already entered.
31 3. Press
<strong>Return
</strong>on the keyboard.
34 Another text box will appear in the
<strong>Taxon Name
</strong>panel, below that of the root taxon/accepted name for which you are entering a synonym.
35 You will notice the standard taxonomic synonym indicator (=) at the left hand side of the new text box within a green circle:
