Hi, I'm typesetting a translation that includes a glossary. There are two underfilled pages in the glossary. How do I select a paragraph in the glossary so I can fix the underfilled pages?

I assume you're asking about how to reference paragraphs to use the `\p^95` notation and the adjust list?

For the adjust list, then instead of "GEN 11.27 +1", the format is something like: "GLO k.Temple +1"  Which translates to, in the Glossary, add one to the paragraph in which the key term Temple (\k ... \k*) is defined.
Unfortunately the changes file doesn't automatically understand that format. (You can't say "at GLO k.Temple ...." as far as I know).

The most recent releases have a  PDF viewer that allows you to right-click on the paragraph, which should bring up an option-box titled with the reference.  I've just checked and it seems (at least with my USFM) that the adjust list changes are correctly processed using this new interface.
Changes file style modifications however, don't seem to be working yet, so you're still  in the situation of needing to manually write changes-file entries, something along the lines of:
at GLO "\\p([^\\]*\\k Temple\\k\*)" > "\\p^95 \1"

Thanks so much. I used your suggestion and used the following line of code, which you had suggested:
at GLO "\\p([^\\]*\\k Temple\\k\*)" > "\\p^95 \1" 
I just replaced "Temple" with the Glossary terms for the paragraphs I needed to select, and it worked perfect. Much appreciated.
