How about including in the OpenOffice.org Writer a glossary, preferably teamed 
with a Thesaurus so that once a document is ready for finished, the author can 
run the glossary option, selecting words from the thesaurus, or if it is 
possible to give the user the option of thesaurus or dictionary. The user would 
select the definition most suitable for the context of the word how it is used 
in the document.

Failing that, or even it it doesn't fail, how about an index of words in the 
document, with the option of a page number or chapter-headline etc location of 
all instances of the word.

Both the Glossary and the Index could be appended to the end of the document.

It would make this program suitable for creating textbooks, manuals, and other 
instructive missives.
