Hello,

It seems there might be a bit of confusion here. The context provided is about PDF files, but your question is about PPT files.

In Trados Studio, when you translate a PowerPoint (PPT) file, the translated file should also be in PPT format. If you're getting a DOC file instead, it might be due to some unexpected error.

Here's a general process to ensure you get a PPT file as output:

Step 1: Open your PPT file in Trados Studio.

Step 2: Translate the content as you normally would.

Step 3: Once you're done translating, go to the "File" menu.

Step 4: Select "Save Target As".

Step 5: In the dialog box that opens, make sure the file type is set to PPT.

If you're still having issues, it might be worth checking if your Trados Studio is up to date. You can do this by going to the "Help" menu and selecting "Check for Updates".

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,

If your source file is in deed a PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint) file, then your target file will be PPT as well. It is impossible that Studio returns a DOC file.

But like the AI response pointed out, if your source file is a PDF (Adobe PDF), then Studio will first convert it to a docx file. The returned file will be docx.

Could it be that this is the case - you are translating a PDF file?
