Hi there,

No, you can maybe edit them after recoversion to Word.

Spell Check is faster than in Traods 6.5, but it could be faster...

With regards

You won't see the object in TagEditor and it will be reinserted into the cleaned document without change. I believe it should work the same way in Trados 6.5.

My experience is not so good. See the following thread:
