</h1>
<p>
Use this dialogue box to manually select the snippets that are displayed.
The dialogue is displayed from the <em>Search | Select Snippets</em> menu
option.
</p>
<p>
Snippets are displayed sorted under categories. When the dialogue box
opens only the categories are shown. They can be expanded and collapsed
in the usual way: by clicking the arrow symbols (or plus/minus symbols)
that appear to the left of the categories; by double clicking the
category; by using the <span class="smallcaps">Left</span>,
<span class="smallcaps">Right</span> and
<span class="smallcaps">Enter</span> keys. Alternatively use the
<em>Expand Tree</em> and <em>Collapse Tree</em> buttons on the right of
the dialogue box.
</p>
<p>
Snippets are selected simply by placing a check mark next to the name of
the required snippets. Checking or unchecking a category will select or
de-select all the snippets in the category. When the dialogue box appears
all snippets currently displayed by the program are selected.
</p>
<p>
There are also four buttons that can be used to select or deselect groups
of snippets. The options are:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<em>Select All</em> selects all the snippets in the database.
</li>
<li>
<em>Clear All</em> deselects all the snippets in the database.
</li>
<li>
<em>User Defined</em> selects all the user defined snippets in the
database. The button will be disabled if there are no user defined
snippets.
</li>
<li>
<em>Main</em> selects all the snippets in the main database.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
When the selection has been made, click the <em>OK</em> to accept the
changes. At least one snippet must be selected. Click <em>Cancel</em> to
abort your selection.
</p>
<p>
<strong>NOTE:</strong> Any selection made using this dialogue box will
replace any search results that were previously displayed. A message to
this effect will be displayed in the dialogue box if it is displayed when
search results are being displayed.
</p>
<p>
The main purpose of the this dialogue box is to enable you to specify
precisely which snippets will be included in a generated unit. See the
<a href="task_generateunit.htm">Generate Unit</a> task for information
about this subject.
