Using colored text, such as green, could be helpful so that they can easily identify the defined/linked term at a glance. For instance, if the term used is a phrase like gain fluctuation or return loss, so that they don't think you're just defining fluctuation and loss, respectively.
HTH Rene Stephenson Roger Bell <RBell at vcgsoftware.com> wrote: I am creating unstructured guides in FrameMaker 7.2. The guides are primarily for print, but our customers also received PDF copies. There are terms that I need to define, so I have created a glossary. I want to use a visual indicator, so that anyone using either the print or the PDF guide would know that a term is defined in the glossary. So far I have been using a graphic question mark icon that I place directly beside a term. I describe the meaning of the icon in the typographical conventions section of each guide's introduction. Any thoughts on a better way to indicate glossary entries? I am not wanting to use a cross-reference or hyperlink in particular, but I'm willing to consider all suggestions.
