Failed to save target content: An error occurred while converting fields back to Microsoft Word format: position of fields are changed across the paragraph or field insertion is repeated

Duygu Demirer

Hello,

 

 

I am quite new at Trados (Studio 2015) and while trying to convert the file I get this error message. I tried to find a solution here but could not figure out. Can you please help me on that?

 

Thanks very much

    Hello  

    I suspect this may have something to with the tags in the document. (deleted and/or changed the order of the tags)

    The first thing I would try is to run the Tag Verification (F8) - and correct all the errors.

    Are you now able to save the document?

    Hi Steven Whale,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I run (F8) and it says No erros were reported.



    I still cannot save it and the same message above pops up

    Hello

    Are you able to share the error stack please

     

    Error dialog box with an 'OK' button, and a Trados Studio interface showing 'Click here' and 'Advanced Editing Options' highlighted in red.

     

    This may provide more information on the problem.

     

    Also what happens if copy the original source file (rename it and save it) and then open as a new single file and then save it again immediately without doing any translations at all.

    If it does not save at this stage, then there is obviously a problem I would think with the original file.

    Screenshot of SDL Trados Studio error message stating 'Failed to save target content' due to an issue converting the document back to Microsoft Word format.Hi,

    I followed your advice. I opened the (renamed) file as a new single file and I could save it again without any translation. So I think there is no issue with the source file.

    Below I am attaching the error file I could get and the screenshot when I try to convert sdlxliff to the original file (rtf)

    Hi again Steven,

    Thank you

    Hello Duygu Demirer (DuyguDemirer) ,

    Just for clarification as I am a little confused to what you actually want to export to.

    The error message is referring to MS Word-

    However, you have said you are trying to export to RTF (source file format) in the above thread.

    If the original file is RTF you will only be able to save to RTF (Studio cannot convert files into a different format for you).

    When you 'Save Target As'- you should only have the possibility to save to the source format.

     

    If you are still having issues- are you able to share the files/TM with me? (swhale@sdl.com) and we can have a look at this for you.

    Hi  

    Can you pretranslate the file and then save the target?  It sounds to me as though your existing project may be corrupt so it probably makes sense to tackle this afresh given you can save the target with a new project like this.
