Hi Everybody,

As a part of my work, I need to show glossary as pop-up in the robohelp project. Now, I tried with Glossary Hot-Spot wizard in RoboHelp 7.0, but it is expanding the glossary content and its not showing as a pop-up. Pls let me know, if anybody knows how to fix this issue.

Help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
Ruziyo.

    Hi Ruziyo

    Sorry, but RoboHelp of any or all versions handles the Glossary as expanding text. Not as popups. If that is the behavior you want, you will need to manually enter all terms and definitions into Text Only popups.

    You should probably advise the development team that you would like to see a choice of how the Glossary Hotspot Wizard creates the terms. You may do that by clicking here and completing the form you will find there.

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi RoboWizard,

    Thansk for the prompt reply.

    Why I wanted glossary as pop-up was,,its look on the screen will be better than expanded text. Due to the limitations, want to continue to use expanded text only, but how can I have a better look,,so that end-user can have a good attention on glossary terms. For that, I want to display the glossary definitions in different color & font than the default.

    I have a good number of glossary terms. So, give me an efficient solution for this.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi again Ruziyo

    I'm posting as my alter ego now.

    If you edit your style sheet (Format > Styles) you will find entries there that control the formatting of Glossary Hotspots and Glossary Text. Change it there and all topics using that style sheet will follow suit accordingly.

    Cheers... Rick
