What is a .GLO file?
A .GLO file is a type of file specifically used by a program called RoboHelp, which runs on Windows computers. RoboHelp is a tool used by people to create help documentation, which is a guide or manual to help users understand how to use a software or application. The .GLO file contains a list of glossary terms. These are special words or phrases that are important to understand the help documentation better. For example, if the documentation is for a photo editing software, the glossary might include terms like "crop" or "filter." When someone is creating help documentation with RoboHelp, they save these important terms in a .GLO file. This file is part of the larger RoboHelp project, which is saved with an .XPJ file extension. When the help documentation is finished and ready to be used by others, the information in the .GLO file is included in the final version of the help guide.
To open a .GLO file, you can use Adobe RoboHelp, the program that created it. However, because .GLO files are saved in a plain text format, you don't necessarily need RoboHelp to view them. Any text editor, like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac, or other similar programs, can open a .GLO file. When you open the file in a text editor, you'll see the list of glossary terms written in simple text. This makes it easy for anyone, even without RoboHelp, to see and understand the glossary terms used in the help documentation.
