Hi!
I'm currently writing a paper, with technical terms, which I'd like to put inside a nice and neat glossary. But I can't find a way to do so. Anyone got any idea? Thanks! BTW, I'm using the brand new version of Pages, on Mac OS. 😉
MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Do it manually. Pages doesn't have or had any automatic feature doing it for you.

This is really disappointing... Do you know any software that could help me doing it?
No, I haven't had the need. Do a search on internet. There might be an application that can do it for you.
No one thought about it, apparently. Is it that incredible?
It's like not having many good options for databases for home users!

Not true. Just it wasn't programmed in Pages. Particularly this very cut back version 5.
There is lots of other software out there. It is not the only game in town.

Great, but I can't find them... Do you have any example I could use? 🙂
Did you look? Or do you want us to look for you?
You can start with Microsoft Word. How new to computing are you?

I'm not new to computing 🙂 I spent the last hour searching for any software solution ; I've been diggin in the Mac AppStore and the interwebs, but I can't find a solution. I don't like Office 2011, it's bad, really bad... But if I have to, I will. It's just that as I know Apple, I thought they'd have integrated a glossary functionality inside Pages.
What makes you think that Apple would do that?
Here is a list of alternative software, but you have to do your own homework as only you know what balance of features suits you:

How hard can this be, really? Keep running notes (maybe using a separate Pages doc, or the Notes app) of the terms you want to include. Insert a new section after the main paper text (or wherever), format it to your taste, and create your glossary there. This seems like a lot less trouble than wrestling with Microsoft Word.
If you find that you need a more powerful word processor than Pages, I recommend either of the Nisus Writer apps (Express or Pro).
Is there a way to create a glossary in Pages?
