Create from Specification Text

  1. Locate the text in your specification that labels and describes your Markush group.

  2. Select the label and description text.

  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+R (Cmd-Shift-R for Macs)

    OR

    Select the Convert to R-Group option from the Terms menu



    OR

    Right-click the selected text and select Convert to R-Group from the context menu provided.


Create in the R-groups Manager

  1. Open the R-groups Manager.

  2. Click the +Add button or the Add New R-group option under the R-groups menu.


  3. Enter your group name.



    Note that your group name can nest other R-groups (e.g., "R2 and R3"). Existing R-groups nested this way will be individually tagged and will reflect name updates wherever used.

    Ctrl+Shift+= turns superscript style on/off. Ctrl+= toggles subscript style. Sub/superscript styles can also be applied to selected characters using toolbar or popup controls where provided.

  4. Click the Save button.

  5. Add descriptions for your R-groups.
