Question:

When I load a glossary from which I have deleted items in a previous session, the deleted items return. Why can’t I get rid of my entries in the glossary?

Response:

You probably are not saving the glossary after clearing the entries. After executing a Transfer Glossary Clear, you must then execute a Transfer Glossary Save. The Save will replace the glossary file on the disk with the new, altered glossary.

In Word version 5.50, select Edit Glossary ((ALT, E, O), Clear All (ALT+C). This will clear all the glossary entries. Then choose Save Glossary (ALT+S) from the Edit Glossary menu to replace the glossary on the disk.
