I am trying to align a technical manual made of 8 chapters i.e. 8 Word documents (Word 2003/Win XP). The first two were ok, when I launched aligning of the third one, the error message appeared (70152). All other files do the same. There is no way to align.
I do not know what is wrong with the files, but I absolutely need to align them because I have to translate an updated manual and it's really only a couple of paragraphs amidst thousands of 100% matches.

I do not know what is wrong with the files, but I absolutely need to align them because I have to translate an updated manual and it's really only a couple of paragraphs amidst thousands of 100% matches. Checking it manually would take ages. What can I do?
The Word documents open normally and there is nothing unusual. Some problems with popups related to the normal.dot appear, but this happens sometimes and it never caused any problems.
Any suggestions (desperate)?!

I'm just guessing, but it might work:
- Option 1:
Save the Word files as .RTF and try aligning the .RTF files. (This might work because WinAlign turns .DOC files into .RTF files before doing an alignment, and sometimes this goes wrong, don't ask me why).
- Option 2:
If the layout of the documents is not very important, in Word, try saving the files as plain text (.TXT), then open the TXT files, save them again as .DOC (or .RTF) and try aligning... See more I'm just guessing, but it might work:

I hope this helps. Please let us know if any of these turnarounds work. ▲ Collapse

Hi Nicole,
if this error message comes up I have two more things I try if Jerónimo's first option doesn't work (because losing all the formatting by saving a txt file can be a real pain).
1) Go to Track Changes and accept all changes in document (even if you cannot see any) and then save as an RTF file. This nearly every time solved the problem even though I don't know why.
2) save as a ttx file in TagEditor and align the ttx files. The alignment is usuall... See more Hi Nicole,

I know this is old thread, but I just found the answer for one of my students. She had an opened Word file with trace on. She closed the Word file and bingo! WinAlign worked!
It may help someone else. FYI this is for version 2007 of WinAlign (SDL Trados)

| Jeronimo's 1st solution worked... | Jan 9, 2011 |
I'd just like to inform future sufferers from this problem that saving both files as RTFs before aligning them works.
At least it did for me with heavily formatted files, 9500 words long.
Thanks, Jeronimo!

This is the option that worked for me, but my files were complicated, and had undergone a lot of conversion beforehand (van PDF to Word, then from compatibility mode to Word...and so on - a real mess in other words).
Thanks Jeronimo!!!
