I have a bilingual database in Excel (just two colums - english word
and the meaning from another language) I want to import this database
into glossword I tried the guildeline given in this discussion on
converting Excel into csv/xml but it seems to be difficult for me. Can
anyone tell me how to do this with minimum effort? (By the way I have
over 10000 definitions in the database)

Thanks in advance

Put Term into column B (in Excel), and Definition into column H.

Select a few rows from Excel, copy them, and paste into Glossword
input form (CSV).

available there)
