You deal with many different specialties. You have separate glossaries for Surgery, Cardiology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics... but you also want to have a main glossary where you keep the abbreviations you are familiar with and use everywhere.
With Includes, you can continue to use your main glossary and include a specialized glossary when working with that particular specialty. The glossary will be as follows:
[Glossary Medical Base]
[include C:\InstText\Glossary\Surgery.glo]The include line will change when you change specialty. This keeps the main glossary from becoming too large - yet you can get very detailed with each of the specialties. Having Medical Base first ensures that its entries always appear at the same familiar positions in the advisories.
