Hello,
I am using Trados Studio 2009 and translating a package. I have to use a superscript not present in the source text, but the format option in the banner is not habilitated. I searched for a shortcut and the Help section tells I should use Ctrl+Shift+Oemplus.
Could you tell me what Oemplus is or how to habilitate the format banner when I translate a file from a package (I don’t have this problem when it is a single word document).
Thank you very much for the answer!
Paula

Hi Paula,
Oemplus is a way of naming the +/= key located at the top of your keyboard (not on the numeric pad). I believe pressing CTRL-Shift-+/= would solve your issue.
Hope this helps!

and not the one in the numeric block.
However, you should be able to see the X² or X2 on the formatting tab - check, if there are no hidden symbols.
Please also observe, that this function may not be available for all formats, as certain format do not support adding any tags here.

TOPIC STARTER | | Why I can´t see X² on the formatting tab? | Feb 9 |
Thanks all of you and Rolf (who sent me a private email) for your answers, but it does not work.
So, I am wondering: Why I can´t see X² on the formatting tab when I am translated a file packaged document?

This is what you see in standard case.
In case of a project it might however differ, as not all formats support all kind of formatting.
You should however make sure, that you can see the complete toolbar, which is called "Standard".

Hello Jerzy,
That´s what I see, but the format font buttons are hidden. I tried with Studio Help, but I didn´t find a solution. I tried to copy a superscript in word and to past it in the Trados window, but nothing happened.
I think the only possible solution is to retrieve the complete standard toolbar. But, how?
Nobody to the SDL Trados team to help me?
Regards,
Paula

Most probably you mean they are "grayed out" and thus inactive?
If so, then your file is in format which will not support the usage of the formatting buttons.
On a side note: using these buttons in Studio should be treated as the last resort in any format you translate, because they will always add tags instead of copy those from source. This might be a big difference.

My problem is that the format I should apply does not exist in the source text.
In English: XXXX-6.
In Spanish: 6a XXXX.
Voila,

| | What kind of source file is it? | Feb 9 |
And TBH what is the problem in changing XXXX-6 to 6a XXXX?
If you cannot apply the format you need, because the buttons are grayed out, it means the format is not available for you at this stage. Put the part of the text in between special signs, like [xxx] or something similar an tell the customer to do the necessary formatting there.
