I know how to link pages to get the look I want thanks to everyone's help but one more question. With some keywords we would like the link to point to the glossary. It does not have to link to the word (although that would be pretty cool) just the glossary on the right and the main page.

Hi jtncarter,
My suggestion:
Using the Hotspot wizard in the glossary pod, link the words to topics and these words(listed in glossary) are displayed as hyperlinks in the output. You can click the words to see their definition in the form of expanded text.

A good tip I learned from John Daigle is to enclose the glossary definition in brackets. That way when the hotspot is clicked, the definition appears after it in brackets to make reading easier both online and printed. See how much better the first example reads.

This is a hotspot [a link to show additional information] in this topic.

It's going to take a little more time but I think it will be worth it. Thanks for the tip.

I wasn't picking you on the term Pooja. I was just adding the use of brackets as a good practice.
