Glossary
Oct 13, 2011

I need to link from PowerPoint to a specific term in the Glossary TAB. I figured out how to do it where it opens the Glossary in a new window, but I need it to open the tab within Articulate. Technically I want to launch the Glossary to a specific term from an imported SWF, but if I can just figure out how to do it from PowerPoint I can get it to work in Flash.

Hi Matt, elearning enhanced have a widget to do this http://elearningenhanced.com/products/articulate-glossary-magic, the only other solution is the one you are already doing for the new window
I have a similar need. I just want the glossary to pull down from the player tab when a user clicks on a word. I don't have a lot of words in the glossary, so the user can find what they need fairly quickly.
If I embed the glossary in Presenter, the user can jump easily to the glossary, but getting back to the slide where they were is a problem.
bust solution is on the link above
Yeah, that's a cool widget. Cash is tight, manager won't even approve that small amount.
I guess I'll have to do it the old fashion way and create separate slides for each word in Presenter to jump to and return. Blahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
try this wy instead http://www.emediainnovations.com/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=357
I have tried that technique as well, it works just fine other than it opens the glossary in a new window and not the Tab. I do not like that way of doing it though.
http://www.emediainnovations.com/moodle/mod/resource/view.php?id=357 is nice, but opening another window confuses some of our users (yes, I know). I really don't need to jump to a specific word. I just need to open the glossary and then get back to where the users was in the lesson.
why not insert the glossary as a tab instead, brian houle does a tool to do this, I posted two demos here that show some options

Nice tool! Works slick. Would be nice to be able to have more than one .swf on a slide. This will do for now.
Thanks
