Trados Studio: Double-byte space

Sub FindReplaceD... See more
...but that's neither here nor there...
 
 Along the line already suggested: if your source file is a Word document, I would use "Save Target As..." instead of copying and pasting from Trados Studio, just to make sure nothing is missed.
 
 In Word(2000/2003/2007), you can easily create a macro to do this:
 
 
Code:


Sub FindReplaceDBSpaces()

    With Selection.Find

        .Text = "　"                                     ' <== Double-byte space here

        .Replacement.Text = " "                          ' <== Single-byte space here

        .Forward = True

        .Wrap = wdFindContinue

        .Format = True

        .MatchCase = False

        .MatchWholeWord = False

        .MatchByte = False

        .MatchAllWordForms = False

        .MatchSoundsLike = False

        .MatchFuzzy = False

        .MatchWildcards = True

    End With

    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

End Sub


 
 Ideally you would create a [Standard module] using the VBEditor with your Normal.dot and paste the code into it, but you can also just paste the above code in the [ThisDocument] section of the VBEditor (Alt+F11) in any document, and run the macro "FindReplaceDBSpaces" from the Macros dialog box (Alt+F8). (Always work on a copy of the .doc so you don't risk losing any work!!!)
 
 
 If you decide to try the above Word macro, let me know if you have any problems.
