Hello:

I have watched the tutorial video on YouTube regarding this subject, and have read a couple of responses to this same question on this forum, but I still cannot get SDL Trados Studio to import an Excel file using the Bilingual Excel file type.

Here is what I have done, in SDL Trados Studio:

1. Selected File > Options. Under options, selected File Types.

2. In the File Types box, looked for the "Bilingual Excel" file type and used the "Move Up" button to move it to the top of the list of Excel converters.

3. Back in the list of File Types, clicked on Bilingual Excel > Common, and selected the appropriate columns for Source and Target.

4. Used the preview function to make sure that the file would be imported properly. The preview looks correct. Clicked on OK to return to Studio's main window.

5. Selected File > New > New Project to start a new project. Selected the file to add. When added, the wizard reports that the file was imported using the SpreadsheetML converter, instead of the Bilingual Excel converter.

Same results were obtained if I unchecked all other Excel converters.

What am I doing wrong?
