Two step process? Aug 18, 2006

1. Save target.
2. Open with target application (a browser, Powerpoint), select all, copy to clipboard and paste to Notepad.

Thank you,
Hiromi

Thank you! Aug 22, 2006

I have leaned how to make text file from ttx. Thank you very much.

The reason I want to make text file (word file). My colleague doesn't use Trados, so I was trying to make text file to get his help.

Another situation is that my client want to check the text in word file before DTP work.

Thank you,
Hiromi
