Creating the Glossary

There are two methods for initially creating your glossary:

1. Create the glossary file from within the Editor and proceed to populate the file manually or via the globalization process.
2. Create the glossary file by importing an existing, tab-delimited text file containing terms and definitions or terms only.

Creating a Glossary

1. Select File > New from the Editor.
2. Select Glossary from the Type drop-down list.
3. Select Glossary from the Type drop-down list.
4. Complete/review the following information:

   Field	Description
   Field name	Enter the name of the glossary.
   Template	Select the template associated with this glossary. The template controls the glossary layout and the term and definition styles used. Only documents created with this template can be globalized using this glossary.
   Language	This field is not applicable to the glossary file type.
   Location	As desired, edit the default location of the glossary.

5. Click OK from the Editor.

For information on adding terms and definitions to your glossary, refer to Adding a Term and Definition.

Creating a Glossary by Importing a Text File

1. Create the glossary file as described in Creating a Glossary.
2. Select Tools > Import a Glossary.
3. Click Browse... to navigate to the tab-delimited text file.
4. Click OK.
5. At the confirmation prompt, click Yes to confirm replacement of any existing terms and definitions.

   NOTE:

   If a line within the file includes a tab, a term and definition pair is imported. If a line within the file does not include a tab but does include text, a term is imported.

6. Review the Application log for any errors. The log is stored in the C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\[applicationdirectory]\version X.xx\Logs directory.
