If you have created a glossary for one project, you can import it into another project. By importing an existing glossary you can save yourself hours of entering terms and definitions into the Glossary Designer.
From the File menu, select Import - Glossary file.
In Location of glossary file to import, navigate to the drive/folder where the .GLO file is located and double-click to select it. The terms used in this external glossary file are listed alphabetically in the Terms in imported glossary list. When you select a term from this list, its corresponding definition is displayed below it.
Note: If you want definitions in the external glossary to overwrite matching terms in the current glossary, select Overwrite Existing Glossary. If you want to keep the existing terms in your glossary, do not select this option.
Select a term in the Terms in imported glossary list. Click Add.
If you want to import all of the terms in the external glossary, click Add All.
Tip: Before importing, print a detailed report for the external glossary and the glossary in your current project. Using the reports, you can compare the glossaries. This will help you determine how many, if any, terms exist in both and what their definitions are.
