AnyLexic is an interactive database of Dictionaries.
A "Dictionary" in AnyLexic is a number of terms, or "Entries", usually grouped by certain topic.
An "Entry" represents a record with one Source term and a number of Target fields with optional Notes for each of the target terms. Thus there are Source Entries and Target Entries.
AnyLexic interface consists of the following five major areas:
| • | Menu bar which can be used to access all of AnyLexic menus. |
| • | Dictionaries list displays all the Dictionaries currently stored in the database. Select or clear check box in front of each Dictionary in the list to display or hide its entries. |
Note: You can select or unselect all the dictionaries by using All and None commands in the Dictionaries menu.
| • | Source Entries from currently selected Dictionaries are listed on the left panel of the main window of AnyLexic, Version 2.0. |
| • | Target Entry view on the currently selected Source Entry is displayed on the right panel of the main window of AnyLexic, Version 2.0. Target Entries are listed here. |
| • | Search options can be used for quick search for any term by typing it in the Search field at the top of AnyLexic window. You can also use simple or advanced Search to find the required term in AnyLexic database. More... |
Note: You can change Target Entry view with the help of Template Editor (click menu Settings > Templates > Editor).
AnyLexic, Version 2.0 can be used to create and edit your own dictionaries, export them into on of the three file formats (.XLS, .CSV, .TXT), or import already existing dictionaries in .XLS, .CSV, .TXT formats into AnyLexic, Version 2.0 database.
