Removing expanding glossary hotspots from topics

An expanding glossary hotspot is text that, when clicked, expands to display the term’s definition. The definitions originate from the Glossary Designer. You can easily remove these expanding glossary hotspots from your topics if you no longer want to use them. There are two methods:

  1. Remove an expanding glossary term using the Smart Glossary Wizard:

  2. Manually remove an expanding glossary term from a topic:

Tips:

  • To modify text that is used as an expanding glossary hotspot, double-click the hotspot term, and when the Expanding Text Editor opens, edit the expanding text just as you would edit any other text.

  • If you remove the term, the special effect (clickable expanding attribute) is removed from the topic.

  • You can click Undo to restore the special effect, as long as it is the last edit made to the topic before you saved it or selected to do something else.
