Glossary to Folder
Sometimes you created (or inherited) a Glossary that you wish to return to a folder of terms. (This most often happens when you want to share your terms with an acquaintance who does not have Pathagoras, or who would be more comfortable using a folder of terms instead of a glossary.)
Pathagoras provides a simple way to convert all or a portion of a glossary into a standard folder of files:
1.
Choose the "Conversion Tools" tab from the 'Clause Creation Tools' screen (Pathagoras Features|Authoring Editing|Clause Creation|Conversion Tools).
2.
Click the "Glossary to Folder" option.
3.
A standard looking "Libraries & Books" screen will appear, but non-glossary items will be 'greyed-out.'
4.
Choose the glossary that you wish to convert.
5.
A standard looking "Clause Selection" screen will appear listing all of the terms in the glossary. (The screen is slightly different in that the <Next> button is hidden, replaced by a <Glossary to Documents> button.)
6.
Select the terms from the glossary that you wish to convert into individual documents and move them to the right panel.
7.
When you have completed your selection, click <Glossary to Documents>.
8.
You will be asked to approve the name of the folder into which the new documents will be saved.
9.
Everything will proceed automatically after that. (You will see a bit of screen flashing as the new documents are created.)
