Hi Kateryna Berezhnytska

You may be able to simply use 'Change file usage' on the Project files page of the Project Wizard as you set up the project. If that option is greyed out, it's probably due to the version of the Word document. If you open it in Word and save it as one of the versions you have listed under 'File types' in File>Options>File types, OR in your project template under File types if you're using a project template. If you don't know what I mean, ask and I'll explain more deeply.

Which version of Studio are you working with?

All the best,

Alison

You'd better re-save it as docx before translating. The issue you describe is not exhaustive. Once you complete your translation, you may end up with being unable to save target. My doc files often export target text partially or do not export it at all, even though no error messages appear and the entire export process seems to go smooth and green.

Hi Kateryna, hi Stepan,

Good idea Stepan, so long as the version of Studio Kateryna is using dates to since the .docx format was created.

The way to find out if your Word document-based sdlxliff will save back to target is to try it before translation. Then if there is any Word content that is preventing this, you can deal with it before translation. In my experience, most often it is content in Word itself that causes the problem.

How you deal with that depends what is causing the failure to save to Target but there is usually a solution of some sort.

My guess here is that Studio and MultiTerm aren't both fully up-to-date with the latest update for whichever version Kateryna is using. It's a starting point anyway, unless Kateryna has already resolved the problem. Kateryna Berezhnytska?
