How do i create a glossary of terms?

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm writing a user manual. I noticed there are ways to mark headings, cross references, etc. But I can't find a way to mark works so use them later in a glossary of terms. Is there such feature?

Thanks in advance,

Hi, Antonio Tirado. In Word, a glossary is just a particular kind of index. See http://www.word.mvps.org/faqs/numbering/Createindex.htm.

The Word add-in called Doc-to-Help used to have this capability. You
mark the word in the document and press a button, and Doc-to-Help took
care of the rest of the details for you. (you still have to define the
words). I don't have need to use this tool anymore and have lost track
of current functionality. The contemporary versions may have this still
in the product. I'd assume so. May wish to check it out.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

Is this included in the Office 2003 CD? Is there an option
for Office 2k as well?...

I don't believe Doc-to-Help was included with any version of Word/Office. It
is a third-party add-in (see
http://www.componentone.com/products.aspx?ProductCode=1&ProductID=122).
There's a free trial version, but the product itself costs $999.95.
