Hi Sian,

They are still there, but still as inaccessible as they were before. At some point they will be made available as things you can customie so you can add them to your quick access toolbar for example.  But for now you have to get at them like this:

But as Jerzy said, they are not available for all formats and this is because if the parent application can't highlight then we don't either.  This unfortunately doesn't recognise that many users would like to highlight their text as they work, or even have the highlights come out in the export for external review.  So if this latter point is your requirement then use commenting... it can be very quick and applies a highlight to text that can be seen when you export for external review.

PS - so setting up my own tag pairs so I can have pink, green, blue, yellow etc. highlights isn't an option, then? Because colour-coding can indeed be a useful tool in various circumstances, but I've never managed to create a tag pair that worked. Thanks!

Hi Sian,

I'm afraid not.  First because the filetype may not support it, and secondly because Studio doesn't support this as a full feature.  If the file was a DOC/DOCX then I guess a workaround would be to add a few words with different coloured hightlighting to the start of the source, and then when you open the file the appropriate tag controls would in the file.  Now you could actually place these tags to force the colour highlighting you want.  But it's not a clever workaround because you'd have to keep going back to the start of the file to pick up the tags!

On your tag pairs never working... hmnn... I guess you are trying to create tag pairs for things that are not supported.

Regards

Paul

Some sort of feature allowing tag pairs to be saved as Quick Insert tags would be nice, no? Preferably remaining available for all files of that file type,

This already works Sian. If you create them in File -> Options, or in the project templates themselves, then they will always be available for any new project.  If that doesn't work for you then perhaps we should do a quick skype session or something to see why?

Wouldn't this be the ideal use in the workaround situation you suggested

I'm afraid not because the custom insert feature is not used for tags like these.  If you have special quotes for example, then you can add them.  So text based information.  But not anything that would actually alter the appearance of the text in the translation.

Regards
