I am using Trados 6.5 freelance and Word 2003 and the Trados menu and toolbar just disappeared from my computer. The MultiTerm menu and toolbar are there and I can open TMs and the Workbench. I've tried contacting Trados but couldn't get help without a support contract... I'd really appreciate any suggestions!

Is trados6.dot active? Apr 18, 2005

Hi Clara,
The Trados menu and Workbench toolbar are controlled by the trados6.dot template containing the necessary macros. Is the template active (Tools - Templates and Add-Ins is the command in Word XP)?

Best regards,
Ralf

Copy it from your installation folder Apr 18, 2005

Hi again,
Where did it go?

There's no way I can tell without access to your system, and without knowing what you did before that happened... For example, did you install any other CAT tool?

Assuming you used the default installation options, you can copy the file from the installation folder:

Code:
c:\Program Files\TRADOS\T65_FL\TT\Templates



Copy the template into your Word startup folder (if you don't know where that is, use a search to find out where the copy of MultiTermIX.dot is located.

Best regards,
Ralf

More detailed info...? / Trados KB Jul 21, 2005

Hi Elinor,
I have the toolbar and it works, but I need my Menu button urgently back! Any idea on how to get it?

Have you checked the relevant arcitles on the Trados Knowledge Base (search for "Trados menu", for example)?

What versions of Word and Trados are you using (full version numbers, please - thanks!)?

Best regards,
Ralf

Same problem Aug 4, 2005

I had the same problem, I guess it must be caused by a Windows update or Firefox update - strange that so many of us should be suffering from the same problem at once.

Anyway pasting the template in there did the trick, thanks!

Jim
