MS Office Forum / Word / Page Layout / February 2004Trying to lay out a design for a Glossary/Dictionary
I am trying to create a user Glossary for a project. Note that I don't mean an underlying glossary or dictionary file for Word to use--I mean creating one like you would find in a book. The glossary IS the document. I am hoping to find some sort of template to save myself a lot of time, but am striking out. Anyone have any ideas as to existing templates that might be modified for such a purpose? I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you! Don't know of any templates. Why not just look at the dictionary or glossary you most admire and follow that. Typographic standards have fallen markedly in recent decades -- my own preference would be the 1938 OED. Use Styleref fields in the header -- read help on the switches for how to show the first and last entry on the page. > I am trying to create a user Glossary for a project.

Hi Marilyn Another tip: If this is an ongoing reference document in a project, choose a layout you can achieve with a table. That way you can order the entries alphabetically on 'term', keeping the definition paragraphs with them. (If it's for publication, of course, check with the publisher.)

Alternatively, if you format the defined term with an outline-level style, you can use Outline view to sort. -- Suzanne S.
