I suspect that you're seeing the result of FrameMaker's handling of tab stops. I'm guessing that the paragraph tag that is being used for the collected glossary items lacks a defined tab stop position. Without one or more defined tab positions (and the default is to have none), you can type as many tab characters as you want (manually or via an escape code in a dialog box), and FrameMaker won't budge so much as a single point. Open the Paragraph Designer from your glossary file and make sure that the Basic properties sheet shows a tab defined at an appropriate location.

I am using FM on a PC. When we used FM on a MAC we would just put in the Marker box (Glossary) and type: JHU/APL\tThe Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory And then press edit marker Once we are done with marking all other acronyms, we would generate the file. It would put the tab for us and we would have list: JHU/APL The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory etc.. On the PC side when we do this we do not get the Tab in our generated file It shows up as: JHU/APL\tThe Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory No Tab. How do I put in a tab in the Marker box and get it to generate properly? ---------------------------- Brenda L.
