Make A Glossary With Word?

[George Chang]

Is it possible to generate a conventional glossary from the text of the
current document with Word? At least to be able to automatically list the
words and, perhaps, an associated definition? Word's TOC and indexing
features come close but they are not quite a glossary.

Hi George,

Is it possible to generate a conventional glossary from the text of
the current document with Word? At least to be able to automatically
list the words and, perhaps, an associated definition? Word's TOC
and indexing features come close but they are not quite a glossary.

usually, I'm doing this "by hand" (i.e., compiling a list of paragraphs
like "word<tab>explanation").

If you want some automatizm, you could start off with an index: mark
each word in the text with an XE field, let Word do the index, and then
unlink the INDEX field and work from there. All in all, I don't see much
benefit.
