How do your create an xml glossary file?

Everyone talks about importing the glossary from an xml file , even from one created from Excel. I have browsed until my fingers bleed and watched the tutorials and seached the Captivate files to try and find a glossary root file to work with.
Please excuse my Newb question but how to I create an xml file, specially using Excel (the easiest way for me to set up a Glossary)?  Is there an example I can work off? How do I paste the import xml tags as offered in the widgit to such a file.
This glosary file will be imported and used in to approximately 40 modules so obviously I want just one file to work with.
Again sorry for the newb question.

Hi Jeremia,
From one newb to another ;o)
I ditched the whole thing  as soon as I figured it out because putting the glossary in to the captivate slides was really clunky and not a neat solution. Instead we are using our custom written background database and having a glossary link in the main navigation menu, a luxury many captivate scorm projects would not have.
However the spreadsheet is a way of writing all the tags needed for the xml code (fill down). Just highlight ALL the cells with all the tags as per the screen shot, copy and then paste in the open dreamweaver page. However, make sure the dreamweaver page is an xml page. You can then use the xml dreamwever page as the import in to captivate.
Because you are copying from a spreadsheet the paste action in dreamweaver will insert tabs between the data of the cell. You get rid of this by doing a search and replace...search for the tab and replace with nothing, effectively deleting the unwanted tabs.
It is highly inelegant but it works.
Hope this helps and does not confuse it further.

This is very helpful - I'm just missing the piece of how I import the excel data into the Dreamweaver code. Am I repeating the same code over and over in Dreamweaver and cutting and pasting from the excel file?
I'm a newb also so any help would be appreciated!

  • How do I create individual xml files from the parsed data output of a xml file?

    I have written a program (DOM Parser) that parses data from a XMl File. I would like to create an individual file with the corresponding name for each set of data parsed from the xml document. If the parsed output is Single, Double, Triple, I would like to create an individual xml file (Single.xml, Double.xml, Triple.xml)with those corresponding names. How do I create the xml files and give each file the name of my parsed data output? Thanks in advance for your help.

    Let us assume you have all the data from the jsp form in an java bean object..
    Now you want a xml file. This can be acheived in 2 ways
    1. Write it into a file using java.io classes. Say you have a class with name
    write("<name>"+obj.getName+</name>);
    bingo you have a flat file with the xml
    2. Use data binding to do the trick
    will recommend JiBx and Castor for the 2nd option

  • In Adobe 8 how do you create a bates log file?

    I love this feature in Adobe 9 where one can select "output options" and change the way the bates stamped PDF is saved, to create a log file of bates numbers per document, etc.  Are these same output options and bates log file options available in Adobe 8?  Basically, how do I create a bates log file in Adobe 8?

    This is a great utility---thanks for sharing it!  The Javascripts folder can be hard to find--here's what worked for me:
    For Macbook Pro users using Acrobat Pro X with OS X version 10 or greater,  you’ll want to copy the unzipped “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js”  file into the JavaScripts folder located in this path:
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat X Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro.app/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts
    *** IMPORTANT:  To be able to see the Contents folder, you must Right-Click (Ctrl-Click if you don't have a right button) on the filename "Adobe Acrobat Pro.app", then select Show Package Contents from the pop-down menu.  The Contents folder will appear in a new window and you can navigate to  Contents/Resources/JavaScripts, and put the “UVSAR_selectiveFlatten.js” into the JavaScripts folder.
    Once you've done that, restart Acrobat Pro and you'll find the "Flatten" option in your Edit menu.  VERY handy!  Tip:  might want to save your original PDF file as a different version just to be safe---once you flatten the PDF, it can't be undone, so either just print and don't save, or save as different version if need be.

  • How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

    We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer.  Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
    I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making).  However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
    Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
    Thanks,
    Bob Kendall

    For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

  • How do I create an after effects file with an interchangeable image

    Hey,
    hope someone can help me, I'm using after effects to create a mp4 file, it contains a photo which has a animation super imposed ontop of it.
    When the projects finished the base photo that the animation is created around could change up three times a day.
    What I'm trying to work out is a way for a non technical user to just be able to upload the new photo to somewhere and for the animation to be created and returned somehow to him so that the animator doesn't have to re open and edit the affect effect project each time a new photo comes in.
    Is there a way to do this built into after effects does any one know?
    Thanks for any help

  • How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1?

    How do you create an AcrobatXI zip file in windows 8.1? from acrobat.com docs?  Sorry Not sure what community to ask this in this community?  The email provider I was using didn''t seem to want to accept it through Adobe Send the first time and since Adobe Send ends January 6, I am assuming a zip file is preferable..  I thought I had seen an Adobe Zip file somewhere but haven't been able to locate it. Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Sherrie

    Hi Sherrie L,
    Adobe Send is Adobe's current solution for sending large files. (It's Adobe SendNow that's retiring soon.) Can you tell us what trouble you were running into using Adobe Send?
    There isn't a special version of Zip files for Acrobat, but you could reduce the PDF file size if you have Acrobat. Or, in Windows, you can create a Zip file by choosing File > Send to > Compressed (Zipped) Folder.

  • How do we create Hyperlink to local file on c:\ in Web Intelligence

    How de we create Hyperlink to local file on c:\ in Web Intelligence.
    Thanks in advance,
    K.

    K,
    You can't hyperlink to a local file when you are in WebI.  The ability to hyperlink requires the http protocol to be employed, wrapped within a web service (like IIS, for instance).  So to hyperlink to any file, that file must be a part of a web service, and the web service must have access to the folder (again, like in IIS you must create web shares and IIS must "mount" those shares in an http environment).  Hopefully I'm making sense to you on why it can't be done. 
    On the other hand, content that is static and has been made available for browsing on the web can also be linked to by populating a cell in a WebI report, marking that cell as "read cell contents as hyperlink", etc, etc.
    Thanks,
    John

  • How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?

    Hi can someone help me with this question?
    How does APEX create and save new files. What extension does it save in?
    Cheers!
    VJ

    It's really too bad we can't see VJ's face when the concept sinks in. This is one of my favorite moments when teaching APEX classes. Most people love it, some people don't. If nothing else it really proves the power and performance of the Oracle database. Each page view can generate 40+ queries, yet on the average system this takes less than .04 seconds.
    Keep in mind there are no undocumented features or "Oracle Internals" that the APEX team uses to achieve this performance, just sound database design. With every feature they add they evaluate how it will be used and design the tables and indexes to most efficiently answer the query. Sometimes this means going against "purist" normalized principals.

    Hello GG RA,
    which fileformat do you want to use (binary or ASCII)?
    There are some LabVIEW shipping examples for File I/O
    You could use the LabVIEW NI Example Finder (Help --> Find Examples..(search item "file")) to get an overview about the different file-formats in LabVIEW.
    Hope this helped out and feel free to reply if you have more questions about File I/O in LabVIEW
