Lesson 7
Let's go into "Edit Categories"
and make that list of boat sections. We go into "Create" again
and select "Edit Categories." Then select "Add" and
you will see another screen come up which is where you will write your
new Word Categories. Call the new Word Category "boatparts"
and start typing this list, with each time you finish typing a line, hitting
the tab key to go to the next line. stern / bow / deck / sail / cabin
/ observation tower / rig / freeboard / kitchen / mast / bowsprit / rudder
/ hull Add any more words you like. Then
select the "Build Index" button and ParaMind will add this new
category called "boat parts" to your list. Instead of keeping "front"
in "My boat's front" we will substitute "front" with
the "boatparts" category. It will look like this: My boat's front should be powder
blue but it should be designed vertically Notice that since we have a smaller
amount of words in the "boatpart" category than the words in
our other "Word Categories" we have a few sentences left over
in our idea list where the first three words "My boat's front"
haven't been changed. You simply don't have to make all your word-lists
the same size, you are not required to fill up the whole list box. To put it a different way, the first
"Word Category" that you used to merge makes a difference how
many sentences will come out. That first merge will copy your original
sentence as many times as there are words in that category. This is because
you copy your sentence once for each word in the category. Then if the
next "Word Category" you pick has less words in it, it will not
substitute on all of the sentences of the word list. Again, let's imagine that you like
a few of these idea lists, but simply because you never thought of how
the different parts of the boat, such as the observation tower, are going
to look. You can save your whole idea list as "boat2," and then
select sentences out of it you'd like to merge with the "Word Categories"
again into new idea lists.
