First, thanks to all who assisted with my last Trados crisis.

My current issue is not urgent, but more a matter of curiosity.

In a Japanese RTF help file (probably RoboHelp?), there is one footnote which crashes Word2000J consistently. I can open and view this footnote in word, but cannot "Open Segment" in Trados.

Any ideas what the problem might be? I was told by my client that there were no reported troubles when this document was translated into Korean... See more

Any hints would be great. Thanks. ▲ Collapse

At what point exactly does this happen? Jan 19, 2004

Hi again,
I assume you're familiar with the handling of footnotes, which Trados treats as sub-segments.

Does the crash occur when you try to open the segment containing the footnote, or when trying to place the sub-segment?

Best regards, Ralf

Cannot open sub-segment Jan 19, 2004

Word crashes without successfully opening the sub-segment if I try to open it with the Trados toolbar.

Opening the footnotes manually and viewing them is possible, but attempting to translate from there does not, of course, work either.

I am not what you would call familiar with footnotes. I have only had Trados for several months and am still getting accustomed to its inner workings (as my rather inane previous posting shows). But I have noticed that the format of this particular footnote seems to my untrained eye to be a little odd:

# K $ �����g�̕ύX

Why are there spaces between the markers? I don't think they should be there, but I can't (and shouldn't) erase them either. ▲ Collapse
