Well, let's just say it hasn't been a smooth move. I wonder if any of you have answers to the following issues:
1) Tageditor is not stable and crashes repeatedly for no obvious reason
2) I just cleaned a Word file and don't appear to have a .BAK
3) Which folder should the template/add-in be located in? It is not opening by default, I have to manually open it when I open Word

Thanks for your help

Hi Gillian,
here are some replies to your questions. Not all of them are 100 % but you haven't given us much to work with. When discussing a technical problem, you should always provide other forum members with information on your OS (actually you provided that in the header), Trados version (or even better Trados build number), and RAM size.

here are some replies to your questions. Not all of them are 100 % but you haven't given us much to work with. When discussing a technical problem, you should always provide other forum members with information on your OS (actually you provided that in the header), Trados version (or even better Trados build number), and RAM size.
Q1) Tageditor is not stable and crashes repeatedly for no obvious reason;
A1) No reason, no solution. Anyway, try registering Trados (find the selfregister.bat file and run it; usually located in c:\Program Files\SDL International\T2007(_FL)\TT\). Also, make sure you have the latest .NET and Java Runtime Environment installed. If these don't help, you can try reinstalling Trados. But before you do that, check whether your Trados build is at least 820 (i. e. Trados 2007). If it is not, you might not be able to work under Vista or with Word 2007.
Q2) I just cleaned a Word file and don't appear to have a .BAK
A2) Have you cleaned it from Word, or from TagEditor?
Q3) Which folder should the template/add-in be located in? It is not opening by default, I have to manually open it when I open Word
A3) It's in your Office\Startup folder (example: c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE12\STARTUP\)
Q4) Is there a reason why the shortcuts in Tageditor and Word are different? E.g. translate to fuzzy. In Word CTRL * and in Tageditor Alt *. This one is driving me nuts!!
A4) Should be the same in fact, but you can redefine the Word shortcuts in the Macros menu in MS Word.

Try upgrading to the latest version which is 835. The upgrade file should be available from your profile on Translationzone.com / Lspzone.com.

| Trados upgraded? | Oct 15, 2008 |
I'm assuming you have not also upgraded to Trados 2007.
I had similar problems when I upgraded to Vista and Word 2007. The problems disappeared when I was "arm-twisted" into upgrading to Trados 2007 as well.
The fundamental problem, I believe, is that Word 2007 uses a different document format, and saves files as .docx files. Trados 2006 cannot fully deal with this format, apparently.

Hi Anil,
I believe Gillian does have Trados 2007 as her Trados build is 822. Trados 2006 are all the builds 7.xx (i.e. starting with 7). But she hasn't upgraded to the latest version which is build 835.

Hello Gillian,
The Word cleanup macro does not create a .bak file. However, if you would like a .bak file then please use the Clean-up tool in Translators Workbench. Please follow these instructions:
First, please save your Word document as a .doc file
1. Open the file in Word 2007
2. Go to Save As and select the "Word 97 - 2003" option
Now configure Translators Workbench:

Now configure Translators Workbench:

Hi Gareth,
Glad to see you guys here - we need you
So with the .bak file did I understand you correctly that you have basically scrapped it for Office 2007 documents/the latest build unless I save the doc as an older version of Word? If so I think that is a terrible decision - we freelancers usually have to send back to the agencies we work for clean and unclean versions and it's the simplest way of doing that.
Are you trying to force people to use Tageditor and get away from Word? I really don't like working on Word docs in Tageditor because you can't see use the Word features, or to say it in a different way it adds in an extra step in terms of then going back into Word and re-checking everything is fine.
Thanks for your input.
