I am using TexnicCenter with Mikitex. I am very confused about the glossaries package. Is there a way to generate a glossary without using command prompt or a secondary file? i just want to have one file which i will compile twice and have a glossary generated from that. Any examples documents of this would be a GREAT help

I wonder what you mean with that secondary file. The glossaries package produces like makeindex auxiliary files to get things work. You can integrate the line you type in the command prompt into a TeXnicCenter (TXC) build profile. Put this line into the tab "Postprocessor" of your chosen profile and run it on your document.

You spoke about the command prompt and that you typed in a command there with certain parameters. I don't exactly know what you did. But this command line has to be integrated into the according TXC build profile.

Read the glossaries manual (Section 1.1 - Sample Documents, p. 4ff) where the commands for creating a glossary are described. Start TXC, press Alt+F7 and add what you typed in the command prompt to the profile as described in my last reply.

hi there

I ve already read many things about the glossaries package, and i read something about a file called makeglossaries.bat, you told in an older forum-entry, that this should be installed in the directory where the file glossaries.sty exists.
but i ve found out it isnt there. how is it possible to get this batch file? i think with out it it is not possible to make an acronym-list, is it?

it was not possible for me to creat an acronym-list.
in my .acr file I do not find any entries, do I write the commands in right order?

here my commands in preamble:

\usepackage[style=altlist,acronym,toc]{glossaries}
\makeindex \makeglossaries
\newglossaryentry{DSS}{name=DSS,description={Design/Decision Support System, Entscheidungshilfswerkzeug}}

later in document:
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype]

should it work in that way?
thx for help!

so I think I ve got it with that problem befor.

but i ve two other questions:

1. i wanna make only acronyms and no other glossaries, is it possible to show in the table of contents "Acronyms" and not "Glossary"?

2. I dont want to make a reference between the acronym and the normal text, is it possible to switch of the pagenumbering in the acronym?

thx!

Either

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\renewcommand{\glossaryname}{Acronyms}

or

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] (untitled.tex)

\usepackage[acronym]{glossaries}

2. I dont want to make a reference between the acronym and the normal text, is it possible to switch of the pagenumbering in the acronym?
