Pathagoras Tip of the Week

DropDown Lists & Glossaries

Locate a term in a Glossary via a DropDown List:  If your DropDown List represents a glossary, and if the glossary that the DropDown List represents is currently displayed on the editing screen, you can quickly go to any term by selecting it from the List. (To open a glossary from a DropDown List, simply drop down the list and click the «Open Glossary» element at the bottom of the list.

    This feature has the effect of disabling the «NewDoc» and «Process» buttons located in the DropDown region. So, in order to actually call in a term into the current or a new document, simply close the glossary.

    If you are actively editing a glossary that is not represented in a DropDown List, you can quickly create a List from the glossary. See Next tip.  Then you can point and click to get to any term in the glossary.
