Studio changes All Caps to regular text during project creation?

We receive documents where the first line is usually in uppercase and the rest of the document is regular text. When creating a project Studio seems to insist on having only the first letter in uppercase and the rest as regular text. See original document at top of pic and then Studio version. Any ideas ?

Screenshot showing a document in Trados Studio with the first line 'COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 20223' incorrectly formatted with only the first letter capitalized, compared to the original document where the entire line is in uppercase.

  • In your document the caps lock effect is achieved by applying the "caps lock" attribute manually (clicking "Font" and then "Caps lock" in Word).

    Trados correctly imports the respective tags:

    Trados Studio interface showing imported tags with 'caps lock' attribute applied to text in the source and target language columns.

    And when I export the target document, it looks like this:

    Exported target document in Word with text correctly formatted in caps lock as per the tags imported from Trados Studio.

    The only problem comes up if I ask Trados to display formatting, but not to display formatting tags:

    Nota bene that there is also a setting to not report missing formatting tags.

    Trados Studio project settings with 'Ignore formatting tags' option unchecked, indicating that Trados will report missing formatting tags.

    Make sure you have that unchecked, so that Trados warns you if there is an issue with formatting tags.

    My guess is that these are your settings. (Same thing happened to me before!)

    Let me know if making formatting tags visible solves the problem (in the "View" tab):
