10 2. Click in the <strong>Taxon Name</strong> panel to the right of any text already entered.
11 </p>

13 3. Press <strong>Return </strong>on the keyboard.
14 </p>
15 <p>
16 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.
17 You will notice the standard taxonomic synonym indicator (=) at the left hand side of the new text box within a green circle:

23 If the synonym text box was opened in error, point the mouse arrow into the synonym text box and click the right mouse button; a drop-down menu will
24 open &gt; click on the <strong>Delete </strong>option:
