Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to deal with this problem? While trying to clean up a huge file (Word.doc), Trados Freenlance 7.0 sends the error message: 352575064 Can'tprocess RTF format.
What can I do now?

Thank you in advance,
Kerstin

...to Trados Support.

Can't check right now (I'm on the road), but invalid RTF format was discussed a number of times before. Why don't you try the forum search?

Best regards,
Ralf

Use Clean macro from Trados Jan 9, 2006

Hi Kerstin,

This doesn't solve the problem you mention, but if you are in a hurry and need to clean the document this may help.

If you are sure that you have updated all segments in the TM,
you can go to Tools>Macros>choose tw4winClean.Main from the list.
This will clean up all the Word document (Hopefully!), but won't update the TM.

Luck!

María José

Problem solved Jan 9, 2006

Many thanks Maria and Ralf,

I had just found this option when I searched the archives. It worked OK, and I was able to deliver a clean file to the client

Also: I had sent a support request to Trados and received their reply with the same suggestion after only 15 minutes! Great to know if one needs help urgently.

Have a nice day,
Kerstin

Longer term Jun 13, 2006

I'm having the same problem and the macro solution worked for me too - did you ever find a "longer term" solution, ie one that updates the TM (although presumably all the segments are saved anyway)?

Thank you Jan 26, 2010

This post saved my project!

But, is this a permanent damage in Trados or is just a problem with that particular file?

My experience: If you have translated the files in Trados with a TM open, then the segments are already saved. No need to update the TM once again.
