Hello, is there a quick way to merge (or divide) segments that have not been segmented, shall we say, ideally? My current text has several cases where I would like to merge existing segments.

Transit XV Smart, SP 26.

Thank you

I've an abridged Satellite, but I believe your full-blown version more versatile.

Try a context menu, two last options are "Split Segment" and "Join Segment to next". Don't forget to do so in both files simultaneously.

Thanks - great solution Apr 3, 2010

Hello Jill, Hello Alexey,

Thank you for your replies, both of which work very well. Alexey's solution seem to be simpler, but I still needed your tip, Jill, to remove the write protection in the source segment.

I'm becoming more and more of a Transit fan!
