=========================================
Here is a copy of the instructions (steps):
STEPS
To amend this problem, you must to change a Windows setting that is independent of Workbench, WinAlign or Word. Follow these steps:
Click the Start button.
From the Settings menu, choose Control Panel. The Control Panel opens.
This step varies according to operating system: On Windows 95, 98, Me and NT, double-click the Regional Settings icon. On Windows 2000, this icon is labelled Regional Options, on Windows XP, it's Regional and Language Options.
Click the Number tab. (On Windows XP, first click Customize, this opens the Number tab.)
In the List Separator text box, change the semicolon to a character of your choice, preferably a comma.
Click OK to confirm these settings and close the Regional Settings (Regional Options/Regional and Language Options) dialog box. The above message will no longer appear.
============================================
If followed all the steps. However the problem is that when I go to the list separator, I find no choice other than the semicolon, i.e. I cannot change the semicolon. How can I change the semicolon then?
I really appreciate your help!

Hi Waleed,
If followed all the steps. However the problem is that when I go to the list separator, I find no choice other than the semicolon, i.e. I cannot change the semicolon. How can I change the semicolon then?
Have you tried simply to overwrite the semicolon, e.g. with a comma?
Best regards,
Ralf

Hi Ralf,
I managed to change it manually by overwriting the semicolon. How simple is the solution. I am still a beginner with Trados.
Thank you Ralf very much for your kind and professional help!
Best regards,
Waleed

If you don't want to change your regional settings in the Control Panel, there is another way to solve this issue.
In fact, the semicolon in style names is often automatically added by your system in received rtf or doc files that are not completely compatible, in terms of style names, with your system.
- Open the doc or rtf file
- Choose Format-->Style and have a look at the style names appearing on the left scroll box.

- Open the doc or rtf file
- Choose Format-->Style and have a look at the style names appearing on the left scroll box.
- You'll probably find a couple of them that are EXTREMELY LONG and have a semicolon in them. (Something like "BodyText;BodyText BodyText BodyText BodyText BodyText)
- Simply delete all useless text from the semicolon rightwards (ex. leave BodyText ONCE)
- Save the RTF file and try translating again.
Hope this works

Hello everyone,
Since the problems with TRados are being dicussed here, I would like to ask one more question related to Trados.
Apart from the problem with the semicolon, I also encounter the error saying "the end of main segment not found".
Does anybody know how this problem can be solved?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sandra,
Since the problems with TRados are being dicussed here, I would like to ask one more question related to Trados.
Trados support issues are discussed in this forum, whereas this topic refers to one specific issue.
Apart from the problem with the semicolon, I also encounter the error saying "the end of main segment not found".
Does anybody know how this problem can be solved?
Check the forum search for similar topics (I used "end not found" to identify topics where the "end of paragraph not found" message was discussed). If you cannot find a solution, please post a new topic, indicating the exact version numbers of software used, and describing the problem in more detail.
Best regards,
Ralf
