Heiko, I tried to produce a glossary... but I wasn't really successful

It works well when you know how to do (Insert > ToC > Index Entry ->
"insert" as many selection you like/need;  Insert > ToC > ToC ->
Alphabetical Index). The help should tell you everything, including how to
access a file with words to index.

...With the index I can collect the words at the end of the
document but I cannot add their definitions to that place.

Do you have an idea, Regina?

Hi,

I see what the original post means. I trying to make a glossary in my document,
and cannot find a way to make it.

Just to be clear, the definition of glossary is this: "an alphabetical list,
with meanings, of the words or phrases in a text that are difficult to
understand".

For example, at some part of the document, the glossary is a list like this:

------------------
Glossary

Anchor: a heavy metal object, usually shaped like a cross with curved arms, on
a strong rope or chain, that is dropped from a boat into the water to prevent
the boat from moving away.

Sextant: a device used on a ship or aircraft for measuring angles, such as
those between stars or that between the sun and the earth, in order to discover
the exact position of the ship or aircraft.

Yacht: a boat with sails and sometimes an engine, used for either racing or
travelling on for pleasure.
------------------

A glossary would be an alphabetically ordered list of words, AND their
definitions.

Regards.
