The .glo file format is associated with Adobe RoboHelp, a help-authoring application originally developed by Macromedia and now owned by Adobe.
A .glo file contains glossary entries created for a RoboHelp project. RoboHelp uses these entries when building help content that includes a project glossary.
The format belongs to the RoboHelp project workflow rather than being a general-purpose document format. It is primarily encountered in RoboHelp projects on Microsoft Windows.
Use the Windows version of Adobe RoboHelp to open or import a .glo file. The file is normally handled through RoboHelp's glossary tools or as part of a RoboHelp project rather than opened as a standalone document.
Compatible software allows glossary entries to be exported to exchange, database-like formats, or spreadsheets.
