In a set of 100+ documents (.doc, .docx and .pdf), I ran a lexical search for the term polic* and manually blocked police (but kept policies and policy*). I then accidentally ran an autocode (code: policy) and coded single words instead of sentences. When I later discovered this error, I re-ran the lexical search and the autocode with coding of sentences instead of single words. I believed this would have expanded the original coding segments from word to sentence.
However, I now see that I have both: policy now is coded for both a sentence and a single word within the sentence. I realize I could have deleted the policy code before running the intended procedure, but it is too late for that now. I could still delete the code and re-run the intended procedure, but I was wondering if it is possible to delete the first (erroneous) coding while keeping the second (intended) coding?
