Season's greetings to all DL Trados users, my fellow translators.

Here is my concern. After all the complaints read on line about crashes and disabled Studio versions, I must confess that I have been leery of installing SR3 on my version of SDL Trados Studio Freelance.

To this day, I still use SR2, respectful of the adage "Never change horses in the middle of the river," right?  I live out West.

I have recently started working in GroupShare;  it could be that an SR3 installation actually becomes helpful in certain cases. I am not sure what SR3 was supposed to correct--or add.

However--it took forever, and the help of this forum, to install a very useful tool, as syntactical checking tool developed in Canada--Antidote. It appears of my Review menu, to the right of the Check speliing/Verify tab (Quality Assurance) tools. I use it constantly.

I am hoping Paul Filkin will see this post, and let me know:  Will installing SR3 force me to reinstall Antidote? Do I run the risk of losing anything else? If Antidote is no longer present after an installation of SR3, could I be reminded of the procedure necessary to put it back in place?

Thank you.
