MT Extract 2017 not reading HTML files.

Question

Hi! I am trying to extract terms from an html file (monolingual) using MT Extract 2017. It says "Error 1102. Error reading files". Does anyone have any ideas on how I can solve this? Thank you!

Hi Melany, 
 
Maybe the html file is not being recognised. Can you open it in Studio as if you were going to translate it? If you can then one solution might be to open it in Studio and then use the Export to Excel batch task from the appstore to save it to Excel (better than Word for this purpose as I think it's cleaner): 
 
 appstore.sdl.com/.../ 
 
Then downsave the Excel to XLS and try processing that in MT Extract instead. Seeing as you only want the terms then this might be a simple workaround to file recognition problems.
