Glossary help needed
November 20, 2006 12:00 AM
All good ideas but all take a lot of work. I talked to a couple of users who were not novices to computers but certainly not experts. I created a glossary in a Word table with 2 columns. I used normal text for all the definitions and one of the styles for A,B,C. I put links at the top of the glossary to each of the letters using Word Links. (highlight a letter and insert a hyperlink to that place in the table.) I saved it as an HTML document and referenced it from Lectora. The users said it was fine - not quite as slick as one word at a time but great. They saw two advantages of it over the 1 word at a time approach:1. Once there, they could easily roam around and see other related words - just scroll up and down.2. It was easy to print.Now I tried doing a table with a lot of entries in Lectora but it was just too difficult. Worst part was that you could not just drag and drop the rows to keep them in alphabetical order.
