Joining can be done automatically or manually. As explained here, dispersion is not shown for words which have been lemmatised after the word list was computed.
How to do it
The menu offers choices for joining and un-joining.
View all the various lemma forms
Double-click on the Lemmas column as in the shot below,
and a window of Lemma Forms will open up, showing the various components.
Advanced
Get rid of the deleted words
If you don't want to see the deleted words
choose Ctrl-Z to zap them.
How many text-files?
When you join or un-join words the number of text files for a given entry becomes unknown and you'll see a blank or 0 in the Texts column of a word list as in the case of BE above. (This is because although WordList does know how many texts each of the lemma variants occurs in, it doesn't know how many overlap.) To determine how many belong to the whole set, choose Check consistency.
To do it, WordList needs to be supplied with the name of a suitable index file based on the same texts.
