Are you using WinAlign to do this? Jul 4, 2013

Perhaps you are already, but this was very useful to me when I was working with a text that had been translated previously as a draft - I was able to salvage the usable text from it.

Try removing tags in MS Word Jul 5, 2013

Hi Tereza,
You might also try editing the source text in MS Word, and displaying the hidden text so as to remove the offending tags.

Just a thought...
