Multiterm 2021 cross-references

When I want to create a cross-reference in Multiterm, I do not get "Manage a cross-reference" when I right click on the selected text, as stipulated in the user manuals.  

What do I do wrong?

  • Hello

    I took a look at the documentation and broadly searched for cross reference. Indeed the instructions seemed out of place for where I think you are at in this stage.

    Without a visual guide on your termbase structure, I trust that you are trying to add cross-references on meta data such as notes and definitions appose to the actual terms themselves?

    If you have a note/definition field, that relates to a particular term all you need to do is the following: 

    Highlight the word that requires the cross reference
    No right click is required Slight smile

    Trados Studio 'Add Term' dialog box with 'GERMAN' language selected. Definition field contains 'test'. Notes field contains highlighted text 'cross reference' with 'Create hyperlink' option visible.

    TAKE NOTE: I do seem to have less success if I over expand on the edit box as seen below.

    Close-up of Trados Studio 'Notes' field with the text 'This is where the cross reference should go' and the word 'cross reference' highlighted in blue.

    I trust this helps

    Regards
