Hi Chet
Just for grins, although I'm not Catholic, I'll play the
Devil's advocate here.
Why do glossaries exist? Isn't it to list terms that are
unfamiliar? So let's say a user is scanning a topic and finds an
unfamiliar term. BUT, the help author didn't think to include it in
the Glossary. In the case of scouring the Glossary tab entries
looking for the term, the user actually wastes time and effort, as
the term and definition simply aren't there. While I would probably
agree that links might become confusing, at least if a term exists
it's linked and there is no question about it.
Just a thought... Rick
