SDL Trados 7.5.0.759 with Excel 2002

The cells of the original xls file are very big and every sentence is followed by a line break which appears as a "br/" tag in TagEditor. I would like Trados to segment after each one of these br tags. I have tried to change the configuration of th TM in the Workbench but that did not do the trick.

Any hint ?

Many thanks in advance!
Sylvain

Check the Filter Settings for Excel files.

Segmentation > Segment after break tags
should be checked.

Unfortunately, this setting is applied during the conversion XLS > TTX, so you have to convert the Excel file again.

Thank you Wojciech, but the button is already selected in the filtering options. However, I did not convert the xls file myself, the client has done it.
I will try to recreate a new ttx...

Your setting is not important in your case Oct 21, 2007

Seems that your setting got no influence on your file, re-creating the TTX file locally is a good idea
