Moving symbols
You can move a symbol from one symbol set to another as follows:
1) In the Old symbol set: drop-down list, select the symbol set where the symbol you want to
move is located.
2) Select the symbol name you want move from the Old symbol: drop-down list. The symbol
appears in the left preview pane at the bottom of the Edit Symbols dialog (Figure 22).
3) In the Symbol set: drop-down list, select the symbol set that you want to move the symbol
to. The new symbol set name appears below the right preview pane at the bottom of the
Edit Symbols dialog.
4) Click Modify and the symbol is moved to the new symbol set.
5) Click OK to close the Edit Symbols dialog.
Deleting symbols
You can delete a symbol from a symbol set as follows:
1) In the Old symbol set: drop-down list, select the symbol set from which you want to delete
the symbol.
2) Select the symbol name you want delete from the Old symbol: drop-down list. The symbol
appears in the left preview pane at the bottom of the Edit Symbols dialog (Figure 22).
3) Click Delete and the symbol is deleted from the symbol set without any confirmation.
4) Click OK to close the Edit Symbols dialog.
Note
The only way you can delete a symbol set is by deleting all of the symbols in that set.
When you delete the last symbol from a set, the set is also deleted.
