So, I found the following at the Trados support website:

http://support.trados.com/view.asp?cntID=476

I can't make it work.

Does anybody have ANY idea what's this error all about?

OK. PROBLEM SOLVED!

This is going to sound kinda of silly.

After following step by step the instructions given in the Trados Support Site (please, follow the link above), nothing happened.

After hours of pressing every single button, I found a Trados function (which wasn't shown in the toolbar in Word) that says "Fix Document".
Well, that simple thing was the answer to my prayers!

So far, so good.

I haven't tried (yet) restoring the templates into Word. I will let you guys know how that went.

I know nobody gave an answer, but I guess this post is going to be a nice reference for other people!

Cheers!

Found both contributions at the same time Apr 22, 2012

Silvina and Dallas,

Hello. I had a big headache with this issue. Silvina's finding worked just fine. Thanx, Silvina!

Dallas, the program that you kindly offer is not available on your site for some reason. I found a copy on a Russian site. Much appreciated!

I wish you both the best of luck
