Hi!
I have been using Trados for a couple of years and I have always been able to translate PowerPoint notes by selecting File type > All PowerPoint types > Common > Notes. In the Project Settings and also under Options. I have tried this but it does not work, I have done everything, re-created the project, restarted Trados, restarted my computer but nothing, the notes are not there. Anything to help?
I’ve tested it works in my Trados Studio 2022, build 17.2.10.19084.
Do you have this checkbox ticked?
If so, select your PowerPoint file from the Browse button below in the same window and click the Preview button. Are the notes there?
Thanks Jesus! Yes, I already did that, but it didn't work, I saved the file to an older version, and it worked. Thank u so much!
Hello,
Based on your description, it seems like you've already tried the usual steps to include PowerPoint notes in your Trados project. However, as Michael Ratigan mentioned, the settings for including notes need to be adjusted before creating the project. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
Step 1: Open Trados Studio.
Step 2: Go to "File" in the top menu.
Step 3: Select "Options".
Step 4: In the Options window, navigate to "File Types".
Step 5: Expand the "Microsoft Office" section and select "Microsoft PowerPoint 2007-2016".
Step 6: Under "Common", make sure the "Notes" checkbox is selected.
Step 7: Click "OK" to save your changes.
Now, when you create a new project, the PowerPoint notes should be included for translation. Remember, these settings need to be adjusted before creating the project, as they won't affect existing projects.
I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

If you saved the PPTX file to a PPT and it then worked, the reason behind maybe that your ticked the Notes check box in the wrong filetype. Note that the PowerPoint filetype at the top is for PPTX while the one at the bottom is for PPT files (the old binary format):
