When copying text containing tags and pasting it to another appllication (e.g. Excel) the tags are missing from the text

PROBLEM:

When I need to copy text containing tags from Trados Studio into another application (e.g. into an Excel document for translation evaluation reports) the tags are missing from the pasted text.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Open a file containing tags.

2. Copy a segment conatining tags.

3. Open Notepad application.

4. Paste the copied text into the Notepad document.

EXPECTED RESULT:

The pasted text contains the tags.

CURRENT (ERRATIC) RESULT:

The tags are missing from the pasted text.

FEATURE REQUEST:

Please make it an option for copied text containing tags to be pasted into other applications so that the tags appear in the pasted text too.

  • Thanks Kelly!

    I mentioned Notepad only because it is a text editor which can be found on every Windows machine. :-)

    The situation is the same with Word:

    Trados Studio segment with HTML-like tags visible and a 91% match rate indicator.

    Word document showing incorrect tag formatting with the word 'B v tett' underlined in red indicating a possible error.

    Word document showing correct tag formatting with the desired result displayed.

    I checked RWS App Store for plug-ins, and entering search expression "tag" into the search field, the only result is "Trados Copy Tags" which is not a solution to this problem. When I enter search expression "copy", I get "Trados Copy Tags" and "Word Count Copy" only. None of them solves my problem either.

    Could you please advise which plug-in to download to solve this issue?
