Hello,
I'm working on a single document project with a word file, using SDL Trados Studio 2021 SR1 16.1.4.4184
I can't confirm any segments and save as an xliff-file. If I press "ctl" and "return", the programme immediately closes and an error message appears, saying "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" .
I have looked through the forum but could not find a solution that worked for me yet, so would very much appreciate any help!
Thank you very much in advance!
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer Küfner,
Please update Studio to the latest release, then try again.
You can do that by pressing the orange bell at the top right corner in the software or from Help tab>Check for updates.
Check if upgrading to the latest release solves it.
Regards,
PS: Also, are you using a plugin for verification?

Hi Oana Nagy,
Thank you for your help. I have updated the programme but the problem remains. I have not installed any extra plugins yet.
The problem only occured with this document and remained after I had started a new project with the same document. It already occured in the second translatable segment, so the damage for me was not big and I could find another way.
I have recently also had issues with a certain termbase that I used to translate that file, so I wonder if there might have been a connection; however, working with the termbase seems to work alright again in a project with a different file.
Best regards!
I seem to have this same problem atm. Did you find a solution?
The quickest you can try is restart Trados; then if that doesn't help, restart computer; then if that fails, recreate the project.
Yes, I found out that something was wrong with the termbase I used to translate the document. So the only thing that helped was to extract the content and insert it into a new termbase, which I've been using from now on. I haven't had the problem since! Hope that helps.
