Help with Glossary in RoboHelp 9

This may be the help file you are looking for: Importing a Word TOC, index, and glossary.

It's not very complete, but you may be able to figure it out.

I had a table in Word with glossary entries. I used find and replace to create a GLO file with Word. It's rather cumbersome, but you can give this a try. I expect next time I will apply styles to the tems and definitions in a separate Word file, and then try importing them into a new project to create an new GLO file. Then I can import that into my existing project.

Here are the steps I followed:

1. Copy table to blank Word file (two columns).

2. Delete all paragraph marks within cells.

3. Convert table to text. When prompted for separating text, select Tabs.

4. Press Ctrl + H.

5. In Find what field, enter ^t

6. In Replace with field, enter </glossentry>^p^t^t<glossdef>

7. Click Replace All

8. In Find what field, enter ^p^t^t

9. In Replace with field enter ****

10.Click Replace All

11.In Find what field, enter ^p

12.In Replace with field enter </glossdef>^p^t</glossentry>^p^t<glossentry>^p^t^t<glossterm>

13.Click Replace All

14.In Find what field, enter ****

15.In Replace with field, enter ^p^t^t

16.Click Replace All

17.At top of file insert these two lines:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

   <glossary version="1.0">

18.Press Enter, press Tab, and type <glossentry>

19.Press Enter, press Tab twice, and type <glossterm>

20.At bottom of file, delete anything after the last </glossdef>, press Enter, press Tab, and type </glossentry>

21.Press Enter and type </glossary>

22.Save as .TXT file with UTF-8 encoding.

23.Close Word.

24.Rename file as .GLO file.

25.Import as glossary file into RH.
