I'm trying to keep track of characters in a space opera style novel and I want some sort of a alphabeticised glossary. Any little freebe proggies out there that I could use? Word 97 doesn't seem to have this function.

Even excel can do that easily, if it's just an alphabetised glossary.
Just add a new char at the end every time, and then sort alfabetically.

space operas never finish coz in space no-one can hear the fat lady screaming.
