Hi all,

Sometimes I work with material that comes in InDesing files and things of the sort but that only require a Word file from me since the designers prefer to enter the translated text by themselves.
My question is if there is a way that I can give an unclean file to the designers that is easier to read - that comes with two columns, or in two colors, or one paragraph in OT and another in TT, etc.

I would like Wordfast or Word to take care of this automatically, I can, of course, do it manually but it would take too much time and it would be too easy to skip a segment.
Thanks in advance,

Mauricio

Wordfast Pro? Mar 23, 2009

I think Wordfast Pro might do the job for you. I haven't tested it much yet, I prefer to work with WF Classic, but it seems that the files in Pro comes out exactly like you want them to: in a 2 coloumn table. Try it, it's free for some 30 days.

thanks for your replies Mar 24, 2009

I suppose that buying another software could provide me with a solution. In fact I am planning to buy WF pro, since I am starting to get a greater variety of file types that cannot be handled by Word. But for the time being I guess that I will resort to play with Word display hidden text and make a new document with a two column table or something like that.
Thank you both,

Mauricio
