Hi,
when translating in SDL Trados Studio 2015 Freelance, I want to preview the translation in the preview pane from within the Editor, but a message pops up stating that my MS Word version is not compatible. I have MS Word 2013 installed and the preview for the source texts works. When previewing, MS Word is not running. I already consulted the knowledge base and related answers in this forum, but couldn't find an explanation.
Thanks for your help
Detlef
Hi Detlef,
The problem is explained in this KB article. Since Microsoft moved to the new click to run installer and dropped the MSI installer for all but the Professional Versions of Office there are components missing that Studio needs to hook onto. The development team are working on an alternative realtime preview as part of the new filetypes for Office which are being worked on. I don't have an anticipated release date for this so for the time being you just have the View-In capability for checking a preview as you work.

Hi Paul\Detlef
This may be related to Office File Validation - try turning off File Validation for MS Word and see if this works - you will find more info here on how to turn this off: 
I have attached a registry key which turns off Office File Validation for Word 2013 so you can also give this a go to see if it helps.
Thanks
