Hello!
I am trying to export a relatively smal termbase (130 terms in two languages) into a Word dictionary format, in order to provide my client with a glossary like document where he can easily review the most important keywords I've translated for his book. The problem is that Multiterm is exporting an "empty rtf file".
Multiterm does read the terms correctly, because it does place the initial letters "A, B, C..." for each section for which there are terms starting with that letter. It also prints a blank line for each existing term. If there are no terms starting with "C", there is no C section. If there are 10 terms starting with "F", Multiterm exports 10 empty lines for the F section. In other words, Multiterm is not exporting the content to the rtf file, just empty lines.
I've searched through tutorial, user guides and many different sources, but have not been able to figure out what the problem is. It might be a bug with the tool. I've also tried duplicating the Word dictionary export definition reviewng and changing some fields, but had no luck in making it export the terms as it should.
This is supposed to be a basic and standard export funciontality, and I am not understanding what is happening.
Can somebody help?
best regards,
Giovanni Basso
