Hi
I have an excel file containing 500 records of glossary terms and their definitions
is there a way (or specific format) I can convert this file to a Robohelp 10 Glossary or do I have to retype/copy and paste each entry?
Thanks
Karim

I have never tried it but maybe this would work in a test project.
Import your spreadsheet into Word and then import that into RoboHelp.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

Hi Peter
thanks for the reply.
How would RoboHelp understand the imported table from excel?
Do I have to format the glossary terms using one style and the definitions using another style? how the import will link the term and definition together?
Thanks
Karim

Hi Jeff
I saw this thread on my search (before posting my question) but the last entry in the thread
"Now all I have to do is figure out how to build a system that will take my single-source FM glossary document (that is all laid out in pretty tables) and pull out the glossterm & glossdef bits of content! But that's another post, in another forum, for another time "
didn't really show the final solution and if you figured a way to convert all the "pretty tables "

No I didn't - ran out of time. I ended up skipping using the RH glossary and just imported my FM doc in as separate topics (A, B, C, etc.)
