Currently, I'm using SDL Trados. In the Word file, I could only see the target language. I want to see both source language and target language. Could anybody tell me how to set? Many thanks!

Show Hidden Text... Jul 4, 2008

Hello Carol,

Please enable hidden text in Microsoft Word. This will make the source text visible.

To do this in Word, please follow these instructions:

1. Open Microsoft Word
2. Go to Tools -> Options -> Select the View Tab
3. Under "Formatting Marks" please make sure that the "Hidden Text" option is selected
4. Press OK to accept the changes

You should now be able to view your source text.

I hope this helps.

Dear supporter,it used to work. But today, it doesn't work. I ticked the "hidden text", but the source text still doesn't appear. Could you kindly offer help?
