To edit the term list in Reference Manager 11, you first have to open
the database in read-write exclusive mode.
Then pick tools - term manager - activate.
This gets you into the term manager editing screen - but unless you are
in read-write exclusive all the buttons will be "greyed out".
>From here you can do a variety of editing on the term list. To simply
remove all keywords that are no longer attached to a reference, pick
"tools - term manager" again, then pick the option "purge" and the
program will check for unused items (journal, author or keyword) and
remove them.
This is also the place to edit journal abbreviations and author names to
make them synonyms, so the abbreviations and full names get the same
search results. (I also edit double-barrelled names as synonyms, and
have made English and American spellings of keywords synonyms.)
Hope this solves the problem
