1 <h2>Adding a Heterotypic Synonym
4 There is a quick and easy way of attaching synonyms to a taxon record:
7 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).
10 2. Click in the
<strong>Taxon Name
</strong> panel to the right of any text already entered.
13 3. Press
<strong>Return
</strong>on the keyboard.
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
> click on the
<strong>Delete
</strong>option:
27 <img src=
"../img/7_1b.jpg"/>
30 4. Enter the name of the synonym.
33 5. Save the synonym (see
<strong>Saving Synonyms
</strong> below).
