How can I create a termbase from an existing word document ?

Question

I do not have excel 2003 or later version yet, so I cannot use any Excel glossary now, if ever I had one, and I don't. 
 I try to read the documentation about MultiTerm but it is so vast I can't seem to find how to do this without the excel glossay. 
 So I wish to use previous translations on the same very specific subject (ingredients in a simple food product) to build a termbase 
 The document is a small one. What steps do i need to do to create the Termbase on MultiTerm and then add the terms to it on Studio? 
 What is an easy way to manage this ? 
 Thanks in advance for your response.

 Hi Evelyne, 
 In this case perhaps all you need to do is create a new termbase in MultiTerm and then open the files you previously translated in Studio and add the terms from there? So to create a simple termbase in MultiTerm just start MultiTerm and then follow these steps... I created a video as this is the easiest way to show this I think: 
 
 You then open Studio and add your termbase in here... 
 Tools -> Options -> Language Pairs -> All Language pairs -> Translation Memory and Automated Translation -> Termbases 
 
 Now whenever you open a file for translation this termbase will automatically be selected for use. So, I can open a file that I have already translated (I cheated as I used BeGlobal to get the French) and can then add terms like this. First I select a term in the source and then again in the target, and then I right-click on one of the terms and choose "Add New Term (note that I also set a shortcut for this to avoid needing the mouse)": 
 
 This opens the Termbase Viewer where you can edit the words if you like, or just save as shown by clicking on the little blue disk symbol: 
 
 Now when you enter that segment you will also see this result showing in the Term Recognition window here: 
 
 You then repeat for all the terms you need. So a little long winded compared to a conversion from excel, but if there are not too many this works and it'll be useful for future documents as you can add the terms as you work.
