Import Glossary from Word Doc?

[Kathy2]

Hello!

Is it possible to import the contents of a Word doc into a project's glossary, rather than having to create from scratch and/or cutting & pasting into the Glossary?

I saw nothing about this in LiveDocs or the Forum...

If I have a Word doc, what styles should be applied to the term and to the definition?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Kathy

Yes, it's possible. However, keep in mind that the Glossary file exists as a simple ASCII text file. Thus, no formatting is allowed. I might suggest the following approach:

Add a single term to the Glossary using RoboHelp. Then sneak behind the scenes and open the ProjectName.GLO file with Windows Notepad. Note the structure. Now format the text in your Word document to follow the example you just looked at. You could then select it all, copy and paste into the .GLO file.

Cheers... Rick
