Glossary import Export
Problem solved! Thank you, Philip, for suggesting that I load both playerProps.xml files in DW. (To clarify, I meant to say I unzipped the original project, not opened). Loading both xml files gave me a chance to compare the two line by line and hopefully spot any anomalies. Lo and behold, I found that one particular glossary definition that was displayed in black not green like the others. Upon closer examination, I found it was because of too many double quotation marks ("). In the original glossary, this particular term uses quotations within the definition, but they are slanted quotes, that is, the begin quote is slanted leftward and the end quote is slanted rightward (slanted quotes might be the same thing as smart quotes, not sure). When I copied <glossary> to </glossary> from the source playerProps.xml file to the target version, DW turned the slanted quotes to straight quotes, which XML interpreted as statements. All I did was replace these extra double quotes (") with single quotes (')... since wasn't sure how to insert slanted quotes... saved playerProps.xml, re-zipped the archive, renamed to .story, and the glossary was there. Needless to say, I'm a very happy camper.
Thanks in advance, Leslie, for escalating "glossary import/export" as a feature request :)
