Glossary proxy for Word - can't see it in output

Post by Cecily »

I am using Flare v6 to single source Word and html.

I have a glossary which is visible in the html output, but I also want it in the Word output.

So I created a topic called Glossary, conditioned it to be PrintOnly and then selected Insert > Proxy > Insert Glossary Proxy. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to see anything in Flare other than the proxy placeholder (I assume not), but I don't see anything in the Word output either.

What vital stage have I missed?

Did you add the glossary topic to the TOC? Print output only includes topics that are in the TOC.

Also, I don't know if it's still an issue, but it seemed like there was some kind of issue if you actually named your topic Glossary.htm, because that's the name of a file that Flare creates automatically as it builds the glossary. You might need to change the filename for that topic. Now that I think about it, though, that may only be an issue if you're building WebHelp.

That did it (it should have been obvious, really). Thanks.
