Question

Removing Glossary Hotspots

Originally my project was requested to use the glossary hotspots for all our glossary terms. As it stands now though we have so many glossary terms, our topics look like swiss cheese. We are looking to remove all the hotspots from the document but keep the glossary if possible. We are fine with removing the terms from the glossary and adding them back, but want to find a solid solution for the removal of the hotspots.

Thank you in advance

    Hi wizardmatt

    Probably the best way to do this is by using the Glossary Hotspot Wizard. I believe you *will* have to step through the topics and confirm each deletion, but it's probably the fastest and most reliable way. Well, other than manually opening each topic and locating the hotspots one by one.

    Just make sure you don't delete glossary terms from the Glossary tab before doing this. If you do, it's a lot more difficult.

    Cheers... Rick

    Hi Rick,

    I hope you're still around, it's been long since you replied to this question.

    I'm using RoboHelp 11, and have somehow attached one image to all of my glossary terms, because whenever I review a topic, the image displays.

    Creating new glossary terms made no difference, and neither did deleting them and re-creating them.

    Deleting the image caused the 'cannot display image' checkbox to display, so that didn't work.

    When I created a new glossary, it was fine, but as soon as I made it the default, the image returned.

    I hope you can help.

    Regards

    Hi Louise

    I'm not dead yet! I feel HAPPY! (in case you didn't recognize it, that's a couple of bits from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen this. Can you share a screen shot or two? (Scratching my head here)

    Cheers... Rick
