Creating a personal smart-tag recognizer?

[Roy]

Just wondering. Is it possible for a person of the commonalty like me to
create a personal smart-tag recognizer? I work in translation and there's
this huge list of technical terms I need to stick to. Is it possible to
create a recognizer that can easily show me the translation of the
recognized, dotted terms in the text through the smart tag feature?

Maybe this is not what smart tags are made for?

Roy,

Yes, it is. normally smart tags require you write programs in a traditional
programming language which can be compiled into separate programs (not the
vba of macros). There is one feature of smart tags called MOSTL, which
Peter Jamieson here helped me with greatly, which you could research.

It allows you to write smart tags using XML. Tremendously easier than
writing code, but a non-programmer may still find it difficult, that's hard
to say.

MOSTL normally counts on you have a web site to direct the recognized term
to, however, you could just make the translation of the term one of the menu
choices for the term itself which actually does nothing at all.

hth,

Chip

Thanks Chip. Seems I have a lot of reading to do. Will check this MOSTL
feature.
