You can also cut and paste text from a word document or another database where you store taxonomic information. Simply highlight the text you want to
|
27
|
copy from the original document, press Ctrl on your keyboard and then C whilst still holding the Ctrl button. Release both buttons. You have just
|
28
|
copied the text. Now click in the box of the Taxonomic Editor where you would like to paste the text and press Ctrl and then V whilst still holding the
|
29
|
Ctrl button. The text will be pasted.
