Extraction of a Word object for translation in Studio

Hi there! I have this sentence in a Word document (screen cap 1) that contains what looks like a field. When I display the code, this is what I see (scree cap 2). In Studio, when I create the project, the text is part of an untranslatable tag (screen cap 3). I played around with a few of the Word file type settings but I still can't extract it for translation in Studio. Does anyone know if Studio can exctract this type of Word object for translation? Thank you!

    You can preview if the new project settings works in Project Settings > File Types > Browse & Preview buttons. If the preview works, showing the text and not the tags, then I'd say that you forgot to prepare again the same document in Trados Studio with the new settings and you just opened the already prepared file with the old settings? You need to prepare the same document with the new project settings.

    In Word, could you go to File > Information > Properties > Advanced Properties > Custom tab, and check if there is a property there with the value shown on your screen capture above? I assumed there is…

    Could you please post a screen capture of your Project Settings? Also Is it a file with DOCX or a DOC extension?
