Embedding content as placeholders in Word files

Hi, I'm wondering whether there is a function in Studio that allows you to create placeholders out of specific tagged terms in Word files instead of using the tw4wininternal style.

Let's suppose I have a sentence like this:

I do not like <brand>, but I love <brand>.

I want to create a placeholder out of <brand>. So, my question, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance for your help

  • Thanks for your reply, Paul. I will have a look at those solutions. I have a further question, if you do not mind.

    What's the purpose of the "Embedded content" in the File Type dropdown for Word 2007-2019? 

    I have tried that but it does not work properly.

    Trados Studio File Type settings window showing 'Embedded content' selected with description about processing of content embedded in a document.

    Trados Studio translation segment preview with the first segment 'I do not like' encoded and the second segment 'because I like' missing.

    The sentence would be: I do not like <segment>, because I like <segment>. 

    As you can see, only the first <segment> is encoded, whereas the second one disappears completely.

    I tried to switch from placeholder to tag pairs, and it works, but this is not what I am looking for.
