It may be that you just need to reorganise after the import is complete.  For example, I created a small TB with 10 terms from an Excel spreadsheet.  I then added another 10 terms to the spreadsheet and created a multiterm XML file from it.  I imported, synchronising on term:

That left me with 30 terms as it duplicated my initial 10 terms.  So then I reorganised:

That fixed it and now I have 20 terms.

If your Master is an Excel Glossary then you could also use the Glossary Converter.  This is fast and very easy, and it has the additional benefit of not overwriting your original.  Just use the merge option with these settings for example:

So I could merge the original termbase, or two spreadsheets as I see fit, to create a new merged termbase without duplicates.  Just a drag, drop and click.

Hi Paul,

Thank you very much for your detailed answer. I am using an Excel glossary as my master, I will give Glossary Converter a try!
