Dear colleagues,

I've translated a word document on TagEditor.
At the end, when I make "Preview - target"
or
when I make "save target as" - .doc
the computers says:

"error while writing breaks".

In case I ask it again,

What can I do to CLEAN the document?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Replace all.
Save the doc.
If you have some luck, you now will be able to use the "Save target as..." funtion.
Otherwise you will need to recreate the ttx and translate it from TM.
