Problem exporting multilingual termbase into RTF file

Kira Petersen

Hello,

I hope somebody here is able to help me.

I would like to export my multilingual termbase consisting of 4 languages into a Word document (RTF file). The Word document should contain all the information I have added to and be structured in the same way as the termbase I have created.
However, when I follow these steps:
Termbase Management >Word Dictionary Export, only 2 languges show and a lot of the entries are missing.
I have also exported the file into text format, but the file is not clean and makes no sense.

I am at a complete loss here. I have searched online, but only found this link which describes the procedure above: foxdocs.biz/.../

Would anybody here be able to help?

Many thanks,
Kira

    Hi  

    Apologies for the wayward threads in this post. I have removed anything that was not relevant so we can try and stick to the point.

    The RTF export is quite tricky, but the way to tackle it is to first of all take a copy of the default export and then you can edit the definition in the copy to change what is included. To be honest this can also be complicated as it often takes some knowledge of RTF codes and not too many people know how to do this. But if you have a play you might be able to get something sensible from it.

    I think there are a few users in the community who may have done work on this sort of thing...  might have some ideas on this?

    I also know a developer who is working on a small utility to create either DOCX, PDF or Excel from your termbase and this would allow you to do something like this:

    This is very much an Alpha version at present and needs some work, but I think it's heading in the right direction.  But perhaps Kelly will come up with something interesting in the meantime.

    Sorry I can't help more than this at the moment.

    Regards
