hiding certain segmenst in exported document

I am about to export a large document to Word.

About half of it is previous text, and thus locked in Trados.

A number of other segments are CMs, 100% matches, etc. 

I would prefer not to export the locked segments at all (or at least see them in a different color, or whatever). 

I would also like to know which segments are CMs and other high matches, and have them identified in one way or another.  

Is there anyway to do this (as was possible in Deja Vu, for example)?

Thanks,

    I don't think you can generate a target document with an extract of the original source. And if you filter for certain segments, then export the sdlixliff, check it in whatever way you wish, importing this back to your project will not be easy, as there is (from what I know) no way to do that in a direct way.

    As for the colors, you can adapt them when exporting for bilingual review.

    So a better idea would be to lock the segments you do not want to have checked and run the checks within Trados Studio. I do not know your languages, but you could consider using Language Terminal to check the grammar. This is at least as good as the grammar checker in Word. There is also a plugin for grammar checking with Word: https://appstore.rws.com/Plugin/84

    All this will cause you far less hassle than what you try to achieve by exporting the file.

    One thing, if you don't mind the workaround, and only need to spell and grammar check, that is fairly straightforward would be this:

    • install studioViews from the appstore
    • filter on the segments you need in the editor
    • export as an sdlxliff using studioViews
    • add the sdlxliff to your project
    • export for external review
    • spell and grammar check
    • update from external review
    • import the updated sdlxliff using studioViews and this will update your original project with the changes

    Or use the LanguageTool plugin as Jerzy suggested... probably a better option!
