I have discovered the presence of Glossaries which is a feature that I have salivated after since the demise of Appleworks & its Clippings feature. I have read through the Help on glossaries, and understand how to create, edit & apply them. My problem, is my ageing memory, and inability to remember the keystroke shortcuts - especially when I anticipate having very many of them.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible, perhaps through Macros, to generate a Pick-list of the Glossary abbreviations library, that that be available in any NWP document?
To explain in further detail - we write geotechnical reports on a daily basis, and by and large, they follow a fairly standard structure, with section headings such as 'Geology', 'Fieldwork', 'Findings', to name a few. Within each of those sections, there are a number of standard Glossary texts from which to pick one (or more) that applies to the project. So what I envisage, is having some sort of hierarchical picklist of Section headings that can be chosen when constructing a report, and hierarchically within each such section, being able to view a Sub-picklist of glossary abbreviations, which auto-expand into the document when selected.
We endeavoured to have this set up by our IT consultant using Word's AutoText feature several versions back, but it was flakey, and I could never get my head around how to fix it when it broke, and haven't bothered to re-visit. These days, we just use Word's workgroup templates (I won't call it a feature

Not only would we would want to have this Master Library and its Picklists (albums) available internally from our OS X Server, so that everyone uses 'the One-Truth'

Does anyone have any answers, advice or suggestions? Cheers & thanks in advance, Simon
