A target Word file translated with Studio 2017 cannot be opened.

Satomi Inaba

A Word file converted into a sdlxliff file and back to a word document with Studio 2017 cannot be opened with an error message saying
"It is impossible to open the file. Some problems have been found in its content."
The detailed message says "Error cannot be identified. Location : /word/document.xml, line: 2, column: 29405."

Although I have already tried the measures suggested in the responses to the past question in this place: "Impossible to open a target Word .docx file,"
I couldn't solve the problem. As the last attempt, I opened and repaired the source word file, saved it, and tried to convert the repaired word file (source) into a sdlxliff file for translation with studio 2017, then, an error message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" appeared and the process stopped.
The details of this error is as shown in the attached image.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

I would really appreciate it if somone could help me.

B. regards & thanks in advance

    Hi ,

    First try repeating the process but use the other DOCX filetype. In the options you'll see there are two, so just swap the order (move the lower one so it's above the one that's on top now).

    Or, try removing the table of contents in the source file and repeat the process. This was mentioned in another thread this evening so worth a try.

    Regards

    Hi, Paul

    Thank you very much for responding to my question.

    I use word 2007 and I 'm not sure if that's why, but I couldn't find the other DOCX file type in word options. So I saved the file in the doc file type (word 97-2003) after executing the "open and repair" process and removing the table of contents as you said. I could successfully convert the file into a sdlxliff file this time, but when I tried to convert it back to a word file by executing the "Generate Target Translation" process, I received an error message saying "An error occurred while converting the document back to Microsoft Word format." The detail of the error is as shown in the attached image.

    Do you have any idea for the reason and could you suggest another solution to the problem?

    I will thank a lot for your further help!
