Create formatted text. Calls the text editor (see the description above), where you can specify
formatting parameters of the existing text or input new one. The formatted text cannot be edited in the
dictionary dialog box. Instead, use the following command:
Edit formatted text. Calls the text editor window where you can edit formatted text. You can start the
text editing mode by double-clicking in the editing pane located in the lower right corner.
Delete formatted text. Deletes all text formatting. Such text can be edited in the dictionary dialog box.
Add database reference. This option allows including in the dictionary the contents of a database fields
(*.mdb). After calling the option, a file browser appears on the screen for selecting the desired database.
Note that adding a group with the selected database is done on the current level of the dictionary structure.
Upon the creation, the database reference group can be renamed (the default name is composed of the path
and the database filename) or moved to another level. Unlike other dictionary folders, the contents of a
database by reference cannot be edited or converted into the formatted text. The next step will be defining
the database parameters (at creation, this dialog box appears automatically).
Edit database parameters. The dialog box appears as shown on the diagram.
The left portion of the dialog contains
the list of all fields of the selected
table in the database (the table is
selected from the list in the item
“Table”). In the right hand side pane
of the dialog the user places the fields
to be used in the dictionary. To add a
field, select it in the left pane and
press the graphic button [>>].
