Glossary Question

Guess what? You can create a more responsive glossary. It takes a little more work, but it's certainly doable.

Just put your terms on a slide, and add an tab in the Player that lightboxes that slide. (Refer to Articulate's tutorials if you don't know how to do that.)

Lots of options for how to design a glossary. For example, for a large glossary, create separate layers for words that begin with each letter. Then create a button for each letter on the base layer, and have each button show the corresponding layer. On a given layer, put the terms in a table within a scrolling field.

You could also add a trigger to any term/object on a slide that would lightbox the glossary slide. Doing that, you could even use a variable so the glossary would show a given layer. (No way to display a given word, unless you put the words on different layers.)

Here's a simple one that I shared years ago:  https://community.articulate.com/download/storyline-2-glossary-slide. It's only programmed for a set number of terms, so you'd have to add or delete buttons based on your needs. It could be used for any number of terms, but, frankly, that would get unwieldy. It's best for smaller glossaries.

Caveats: Part of the extra work is that you have to put the words in the proper order. Also, a custom glossary slide would be quite difficult to work with if the course needs to be translated. Words would have to be re-sorted manually. And some other languages use completely different characters, so having buttons for A, B, C, etc. would be meaningless.
