The problem is that when running Word 7+workbench 7.1 under vista, the following occurs:
the translated text does not change color to green, so there is no visual cue for what i have already translated. Normally, with "Show/hide", the entire translation unit (blue color=untranslated, green color=translated) is shown colored. Under vista, all translated units show in black color.
I know this is not so important, but by using color cues i know where to resume translation within the doc... See more

So the problem is, how can i convince word 2003+workbench 7.1 to show blue and green text for translation units?
Thanks. ▲ Collapse

Options - Translated Text Colours Oct 17, 2007

I don't know if you're using Trados 7.1 or Trados 2007 with Vista but in Trados 7.5 the way you change the text of translated text is, on the menu bar, to go to Options and then Translated Text Colors and configure the colours you want.

Your solution works! I knew this option, I just didn't use it. Thanks a lot.
