These functions may or may not be visible in each Tool depending on the capacity of the Tool or the current window of data -- the one whose caption bar is highlighted.
advice opens a window showing a map of Oxford WordSmith Tools, giving a view of where you are now and where you might go next; also offers advice depending on the Tool. associates opens a new window showing Associates. auto-join joins (lemmatises) automatically. auto-size re-sizes each line of a display so that each one shows as much data as it should. Most windows have lines of a fixed size but some, e.g. in Viewer, allow you to adjust row heights. This adjusts line heights according to the current highlighted column of data. clumps computes clumps in a keywords database regroup clumps regroups the clumps clusters computes concordance clusters. collocates shows collocates using concordance data. compute calculates a new column of data based on calculator functions and/or existing data. redo collocates recalculates collocates, e.g. after you've deleted concordance lines. column totals computes totals, min, max, mean, standard deviation for each column of numerical data. concord within KeyWords, WordList, starts Concord and concordances the highlighted word(s) using the original source text(s). copy allows you to copy your data to a variety of different places (the printer, a text file, the clipboard, etc.). double columns allows you to double the number of columns, so as to save paper when printing. edit allows editing of a list or searches for a word (type-in search). edit or type-in mode alternates between edit and type-in mode. filenames opens a new window showing the filenames from which the current data derived. If necessary you can edit them. find files finds any text files which contain all the words you've marked. grow increases the height of all rows to a fixed size. See shrink () below. help (also F1) opens WordSmith Help (this file) with context-sensitive help. join joins one entry to another e.g. sentences in Viewer, words in WordList (lemmatisation). layout This allows you to alter many settings for the layout: the colour of each column, whether to hide a column of data, typefaces and column widths. links computes links between words in a key-words plot. mark marks an entry for joining or finding files. match lemmas checks each item in the list against ones from a text file of lemmatised forms and joins any that match. match list matches up the entries in the current list against ones in a "match list file" or template, marking any found with (~). mutual information computes mutual information scores in a WordList index list. new... gets you started in the various Tools, e.g. to make a concordance, a word list, or a key words list. open... gives you a chance to choose a set of saved results. patterns computes collocation patterns. play media plays a media file. plot opens a new window showing a Concord dispersion plot or KeyWords plot. print (also F3) previews your window data for printing; can print to file, which is equivalent to "save as text". refresh re-reads your text file (in Viewer) or re-draws the screen (in Print Preview). remove duplicates removes any duplicate concordance lines. replace search & replace, e.g. to replace drive or folder data, when editing file-names where the source texts have been moved. re-sort re-sorts lists (e.g. in frequency as opposed to alphabetical order) in Concord, KeyWords or WordList. ruler shows/hides vertical divisions in any list; text divisions in a KeyWords plot. Click ruler in a menu to turn on or off or change the number of ruler divisions for a plot. save (also F2) saves your data using existing file-name; if it's a new file asks for file-name first. save as saves after asking you for a file-name. save as text saves as a .txt file: plain text. search (also F12) searches within a list. shrink reduces the height of all rows to a smaller fixed height. See grow () above. skim in Viewer, allows timed skimming through a text. statistics opens a new window showing detailed statistics. statusbar toggles on & off the "status bar" (at the bottom of a window, shows comments and the status of what has been done). summary statistics opens a new window showing summary statistics, e.g. proportion of lemmas to word-types. swap columns for rows swaps the columns and rows. WordList statistics are shown by default with the file data in each column. Click this button to swap the row data with the column data. toolbar toggles on & off a toolbar with the same buttons on it as the ones you chose when you customised popup menus. unjoin unjoins any entries that have been joined, e.g. lemmatisedentries. view source text shows the source text and highlights any words currently selected in the list. Microsoft Word™ sends formatted data to Word. wordlist within KeyWords, makes a word list using the current data. zap zaps any deleted entries.
