When I Try to align ("ALIGN " step in + Align menu) 2 texts under Word 2003 version, the resut is a table with TWO IDENTICAL column ( only source or only target).

Anyway, even though I don't use Word 2003, I know there is a known issue that doesn't seem to allow +Tools to complete the alignment process correctly.
The problem is in Word 2003, because alignment works fine on other Word versions.

Cheers,
