Is it possible to print the glossary in either the compiled project or from RoboHelp?

Be sure to select Detailed list to get not only the glossary items but also the definitions. There are some additional ways ways to do this. Here's a routine to follow (especially useful if I have a fairly large glossary). I'm assuming WebHelp pro uses a .glo file like in HtmlHelp.

Open the .glo file in a text editor.

Save it as a .txt file.

Open that inside MS Word.

Do a Find and Replace, giving NAME= items a desired heading style (Heading 4 or Heading 5 maybe).

Do a second Find and Replace, replacing NAME= with nothing to delete the NAME=

Or

Just do it using the Printed layout. When building a printed output, on the third screen of the output wizard, where you can select items for your section layout, select Glossary.

Hi Jared

I hate to be disagreeable, but I'm going to have to disagree.

If you follow Tools > Reports > Glossary, you are able to choose between two different reports.

* Overview
* Detailed

Overview is the default I believe and will do as you say. But if you choose Detailed, you get terms and definitions.

Cheers... Rick

Hi there

Perhaps try Tools > Reports > Glossary?

Cheers... Rick
