3.4.4  Redo Phrase Segmentation
Phrases built in one particular sentence will not be automatically combined in other 
sentences. Phrase building only combines words and terms in the current sentence. If the 
term appears in other sentences, use the Redo phrase segmentation command to quickly 
combine them all.
For example, in section 3.4.3 we constructed a new term by combining words 洋 and 基 
in the sentence 這裡有建仔代表洋基出戰天敵天使隊 and added it to the term database. 
When clicking the sentence 終場洋基12:0大勝天使, 洋基 is still two separate words and 
not one single term. In this situation the Redo phrase segmentation command is available. 
Simply click the 
 button to redo phrase segment the sentence and combine 洋 and 基 
into the term 洋基.
Note: The Penpower Chinese Expert comes with an extensive pre-defined term database 
and when manually constructed terms are assigned, they rank lower than terms 
already existing in the database. If a manually constructed term is a part of a larger 
default term, the Redo Phrase Segmentation function can’t be performed on other 
sentences in the article that contain this term manually construted term. For ex-
ample, the default system term database already contains this term 天長地久. If you 
manually build the term 天長 in a certain sentence so that it is now two separate 
terms 天長 and 地久, you won’t be able to use the Redo Phrase Segmentation com-
mand to separate 天長地久 in other sentences.
