Glossary

Hi Valerie

Thank you for your question. Word doesn't have a glossary feature so an alternative to manually creating the glossary could be to use the Table of Authorities feature.


You can mark the text that will be explained in the glossary by highlighting it and pressing ALT + SHIFT + i


When you have all the items added find a point in your document to insert the Table of Authorities and choose Insert > References and click the Table of Authorities tab. Select your formatting options and then click OK

Here are some more details on the Microsoft website that might be of interest:

I have also found a related article from Shauna Kelly on this very subject. Shauna offers some very useful tips on the upside (and downside) of using Table of Authorities for creating Glossaries.

I hope this is helpful. Do let us know if you have any further questions.


Kind regards,
Andrew
