This is the message I receive once I have finished my translation. I have being using Trados for long time but this is the first time...

(-2147467259): This file cannot be processed as TTX because it was saved as a bilingual document in Word.

What can I do? Even if I try to fix the document, nothing changes...:(

Thank you

This is certainly not the message... Sep 12, 2007

you've got when you finished your translation.
Are you attempting to cleanup the file?
If so, you most probably chganged the setting in Options - Translation Memory Options - Tools - TRADOStag XML workflow for Word .doc files. Just deselect this one and everything should be ok.
If not, please tell us EXACTLY what you were doing, when the message appeared.

Jerzy

Dear Jerzy,

I am having the same message when I try and clean up my file.
I followed your suggestion: I went to Options - Translation Memory Options - Tools - TRADOStag XML workflow for Word .doc files and deselected it so now the only option selected is strip unused fonts but it still doesn't work.

I will be most grateful for any further advice you can give me!

Kind regards,

Luna Venturi

I had the same problem and it worked with me. (I hadn't changed the settings though, TRADOStag XML workflow for Word.doc files was activated by itself.. so I just deactivated it)
