Glossaries

A glossary is a list of specialized words with their definitions, accessed in online output or placed at the end of a PDF.

When you create a new project in Doc-To-Help, a glossary document is added automatically. You can delete this document if you wish. If you’d like to flag a different document as your glossary, add it to the project, right-click on it in the Documents pane, and from the menu choose Glossary.

Glossary entries are formatted by default with the Glossary Heading style, followed by the definition, formatted as C1H Popup Topic Text. You can edit these styles to change this behavior. See Project Styles.

Doc-To-Help can create automatic links to each glossary item, or you can create manual links to glossary items (see Creating Links). Choose the Link Type of Glossary Term. To set your project to automatically create glossary links, open the Styles dialog and for the Glossary Heading Paragraph style, select the Auto Glossary Links check box. See Paragraph Styles.

To add a glossary entry, you can open the glossary source document and add terms/definitions. You can also use the Add Terms button in the Glossary section on the Doc-To-Help ribbon when working in any Word source document. See Adding Terms to the Glossary.
