Suggested topics in text analysis

So I sometimes use the suggested topics tool in text analytics, mostly for when there is no pre-established library I can import. Sometimes they suggestions are good; sometimes, I just stare and wonder where the name came from. But that's okay, as we an rename them. But one thing I sometimes see is that two or more suggested topics have VERY similar keywords, and I'd like to combine them; not as a parent topic, but just a single topic. Is there anyway to just quickly combine two topics that way?

Hi, raperm -- the way I usually go about this is to create a new keyword topic that incorporates both keywords (e.g., if "coffee" is a keyword and "joe" is a keyword, create a new topic "coffee or joe" which incorporates both terms. I hope that helps!

Thanks AdamK12 . I've done that, but with the suggested topics you might get a fairly long list of keywords; was hoping maybe I was just missing something and there was a way to combine them. Thanks!!!
