Once you access the Merge resource files dialog box, the merge is performed from left to right: the resource file in the left pane is used as a reference and the resource file to be merged is in the right pane. The changes to the resource file in the right pane depend on the selected merge actions.

1. Select Tools→Resources→Resource File .
   
   The list of resource files appears.

   If the resource file you want to merge is not in the list, click the Select a Path tool and browse to the directory containing the resource file you want. Click OK and select the resource file from the dropdown listbox.
