Upgrading from Trados 2007 to Studio 2011 using Word 2003? Thread poster: raimundo4u

Hi all, I am still using SDL Trados 2007 Freelance wit Office 2003 on Windows XP SP3. I mainly use Trados with MS Word 2003, but also a lot with TagEditor. I am preparing to upgrade to Trados Studio 2011 and have been reading info about it. For the moment, I want to keep using MS Word 2003 for a while for two reasons: - A main customer of mine delivers and requests files in Word 2003 .doc format.

I mainly use Trados with MS Word 2003, but also a lot with TagEditor. I am preparing to upgrade to Trados Studio 2011 and have been reading info about it. For the moment, I want to keep using MS Word 2003 for a while for two reasons: - A main customer of mine delivers and requests files in Word 2003 .doc format. I don't want to risk incompatibility issues at this moment. - Switching to both Studio 2011 and Office 20xx at the same time would hurt my productivity too much (temporarily). Therefore I would like to ask: - Does Trados Studio 2011 work together well with MS Word 2003 ? From what I read, Studio can handle .doc files just fine, but I was more thinking about the Preview feature and such, where an interaction between Studio and MS Word is required. Does that work okay? - I plan to upgrade to Trados Studio 2011 Freelance, but I found that there also exists a 'Freelance Plus' version. On the feature comparison webpage, this Plus version was not listed. Is the only difference between Freelance and Freelance Plus the fact that you can work on 2 pc's simultaneously ? I assume the Freelance version can also be used on different pc's (like 2007), but not simultaneously of course. - I want to also keep using the Trados 2007 Suite that I already own. Do I then have to purchase the 'SDL Trados Studio 2011 Freelance + SDL Trados 2007 Suite' package? Or only the Studio and can I install that alongside the existing 2007? Thanks for any info that might be helpful. Kind regards Ray ▲ Collapse | | | Heinrich Pesch Finland Local time: 15:49 Member (2003) Finnish to German + ...

Studio will increase your productivity compared to using old Trados in Word. If Word 2010 might temporarily slow you a bit, it will not matter so much IMO. Word 2003 is not quite compatible with STudio, even if you can translate doc-format files. So it would pay to upgrade on both software. With Studio you will work less inside Word, just view files, not much more. | | | Studio + Workbench? | Aug 22, 2013 |
Heinrich, thanks for your comment. Can somebody advise me about my 3rd question? (Studio + Workbench). Kind regards Ray | | | SDL_Steve United Kingdom Local time: 13:49 English to Arabic Upgrading from Trados 2007 to Studio 2011 using Word 2003? | Aug 22, 2013 |
Hi Raimundo, I would just like to confirm for you a few points. If you already hold a 2007 Suite license then this still remains after you upgrade. You can then have both 2011 (2014) and 2007 Suite installed side by side. I would always recommend the PLUS version, as this means you can have the software installed and activated on TWO machines- or if you only use one, then you have a back up activation should a PC fail/crash. When using Studio 20... See more Hi Raimundo, I would just like to confirm for you a few points. If you already hold a 2007 Suite license then this still remains after you upgrade.

When using Studio 2011/2007 Suite I would recommend using either MS Office 2007 or better 2010 as these have proved to be the best environment and reduces the amount of conversion needed.
