Thanks and regards,

Chopra

You would need to make sure the XML filter is set up correctly for TMX processing, and make sure that the relevant attributes (not tags) are marked up to only produce the source, target, or both as you wish in the r...

Just a thought in case someone technical on the forum wanted to give this a go? If we have time I might post back on this later.

Can be done Feb 24, 2010

by a WF user. The whole procedure (.tmx > .txt > Excel > copy the right column into Word) should take about 2 minutes.
