hello everyone,

you helped me when i was starting with trados and now - a few months later - i need your help again!

i had to format my computer and reinstall everything and therefore trados, too. i installed trados without any problems, found all the things i needed to do and change in word, to have it work and i did all of it.

hello everyone,

you helped me when i was starting with trados and now - a few months later - i need your help again!

i had to format my computer and reinstall everything and therefore trados, too. i installed trados without any problems, found all the things i needed to do and change in word, to have it work and i did all of it.

but... when i started translating, and when finished several pages, i realised that i had no tags in the document. it gives me the blue and the yellow boxes, i do the translation, i click alt+ to close and move to the next, it does that but it automatically removes the original text and replaces it with the translation.

it is not a problem for this particular job, because they have not requested the use of trados, so i would send the clean file anyway! but... what do i do...

i believe it is just a simple "click" someplace in the settings or somewhere else, but i am really stupid to find it on my own!

thank you for helping me!

Display hidden text Mar 18, 2006

Hi Dusica,

It seems that Word does not display hidden text anymore since the new installation.
Go to Tools, Options, tab "Display", and tick "Hidden text".

HTH,
Sylvain

All? Mar 18, 2006

Hi again,

There should be a "All" box in the same tab. Is it selected?

to some extent Mar 18, 2006

i selected all and i got all the little dots and things all over the text, which is OK and i know how to get that out if they get on my nervs... and, indeed, i got the two languages, but they are both in the same colour - no different colours, as i had it before!

You have to adjust settings Mar 18, 2006

Hi,

In TWB click on Options --> Translated Text Colours and select the colours you prefer.
