John,
As William answered your question, allow me to comment on one other
aspect of your document setup. If you use the markers function in FM
to embed your glossary entries, you can regenerate your glossary for
each book, and have the glossary update to reflect the contents.
This is very similar to using the Index marker, though the generated
file is an IOM extension. The main drawback to this scheme is that
marker entries are limited to 255 characters, which means that
glossary entries over 255 characters must be split into multiple
marker entries. If you use tools like IXGEN, or Silicon Prarie
Software's Index Tool Pro, you can manage and manipulate these
entries.
