Merging segments

I don't seem to be able to merge segments in the files I'm working on in Trados Studio 2021 Freelance. I am currently working on a simple Word document and have created the project myself. I have followed other tips on ensuring 'Allow source editing' is ticked, along with 'Enable merging segments across paragraph' under Project Settings, but the option to merge segments is just greyed out. 

I'd really appreciate a solution to this as the segmentation in the file I'm working on is a bit of a pain.

Thank you

  • Before you can merge, the segments must be selected. Click the number of the first segment to merge, keep SHIFT pressed and click the number of the last segment to be merged. Now you should be able to merge them. You can also use keyboard. Look for shortcuts to select rows. The shortcuts in my screenshots are not default, so you must check the corresponding shortcuts in your system.
