TMS > SDL TMS 2011 Service Pack 6 - Product Updates

SDL TMS 2011 SP6 CU1 | Microsoft Word 2007-2016 (Tech Preview) - Pre-processing tool available for SDL TMS 2011 SP6 CU1

9 Oct 2015

Symptoms:
To answer growing demands of supporting more features, as well as Google Docs and Libre Office 4, a new Microsoft® Word 2007-2016 File Type (Tech Preview) has been made available.

As the SDL TMS user community is also a large consumer of these file types and of SDL Trados Studio, we are happy to announce the availability of this File Type Tech Preview (delivered in June 2015 by SDL Trados Studio) in a new Pre-Processing Tool available for SDL TMS SP6 CU1 users.

Explanation:
We recommend that users have SDL Trados Studio 2015 (June 2015) with SDL TMS 2011 SP6 CU1, as the set of filters is the same.

For now, the version of the Microsoft® Word 2007-2016 File Type delivered in this article matches the SDL Trados Studio 2015 release notes, available in KB article 8571. There is no corresponding out-of-the-box Content Type in SDL TMS SP6 CU1, but there is a new Pre-Processing Tool made available for users who want to start adopting the filter from its early stages.

Note that the production-ready version of this file type will be delivered with Studio 2015 Service Release 1. Consequently, the next release of SDL TMS will update the filter available in the Pre-Processing Tool with the latest changes available and expose the matching out-of-the-box Content Type.

Resolution:
SDL-hosted customers should contact SDL Support to arrange for this new functionality to be deployed.

Customers who host SDL TMS themselves should download the installer for SDLTMS2011SP6CU1 MS Word 2007-2016 Preprocessing Tool Tech Preview.exe from the following FTP site:ftp://sdlpatches:5dlpatch35@ftp-emea.sdlproducts.com/SDL TMS/2011 SP6/CU1/Hotfix.
