Use "Word Dictionary export" from Termbase Management instead. This will export the complete TB to RTF format, which you can print or simply convert to PDF in Word.

Not always a straightforward thing to do, but you have three options I'm aware of:

1. Export to RTF from Multiterm. I'm not sure how successful this will be with images (might have a play later), but in theory this should do the trick and then you save from Word as a PDF. The RTF coding in this option is a bit of  black art and it's so old I don't know anyone who knows how it works to be able to configure it anymore!
   
   
2. Publishing MultiTerm. This is an app from Kaleidoscope and should be able to take the hard work out of it: https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/publishing-multiterm/9/
   But this isn't free.  More info here: https://www.kaleidoscope.at/en/translation/experttools-small-but-mighty/publishing-multiterm/
   
   
3. And possibly this one - https://appstore.sdl.com/language/app/multilingual-dictionary-converter/860/ which is free. Yuriy Belik might have more knowledge on this one.

Of them all I think Publishing MultiTerm should be the best option.

I think there are no configuration options for this export. You can chose sorting and apply a predefined filter, but that's particularly all. However, the exported file can easily be postprocessed in Word, using search and replace (formats and paragraph marks, in particular). I have done this some few times for a customer to achieve better (desired) formatting. Not really a big deal.

it is configurable and certainly desirable. If you had a large termbase and wanted a different content/layout then you certainly wouldn’t want to do this in Word!

Of course not, but please enlighten me, where can I configure the Word export. I fail to see more options than sorting and filtering in MT...

BTW, I just tried to export a simple TB to rtf with MT2021b and the result is an empty file...

as I said... it’s a black art!

copy the files and when you edit it to I’ll see you have more options. I’m out at the moment so if you’re still stuck I’ll explain later.

OK, I see - when I copy the Word export definition, I can edit it with some more options. Tricky, but I understand now.

Hello Jerzy, thank you for your reply. When I export the termbase using that option, it only exports a few fields for some reason: only those that are at entry level and one of the target languages equivalent. Also, it doesn't export the image (it exports only the image name). Furthermore, my termbase is multilingual and it only exports one target language, and not all three included. Any thoughts?

Hello Paul, thank you for taking the time to reply. I have verified all of your options:

1. It doesn't export the image (only the image name) and it certainly looks like a file that only black arts can handle. There is a lot of history info throughout the term record (my name as the person who modified it and dates and times) that would make editing and formatting it a hassle. 
2. It looks pretty cool, but 1250 euros is out of budget. I see there is a trial version, I might check it towards the end of the project.
3. Unfortunately, doesn't support Multiterm 2019.

I am enclosing an image of my PDF experiment. It looks pretty good for presenting in the kind of work I'm doing. I'd love for an option to do all the termbase like this. I hope you have more thoughts!

Hello Jerzy. My term record has a lot of fields and editing in Word would be a very time consuming task. I already exported one and it looks awful. I hope another option will come up!
