Hi all,

A colleague of mine tried to save the target text of her translated Excel file (Studio 2019) and got the "Object reference" error. As far as I can understand the stack trace, the problem is caused by the file type. I tested the file here on my system where the target was saved without problems.

I have to add that she works on a Mac under Parallels, and she can save other target files without problems.

We already tried a reset of the window layout and a repair installation of Studio, to no avail. Is there anything else that we can do?

TIA!

Best
