Thanks a lot!

| Trados or copy text to Word | Jul 14, 2005 |
You can run a Trados analysis (might take a few minutes, depending on file size) or you can copy the entire text to Word.

I did not know that Trados could analyze Excel tables. I could not find a way for WordFast to do it. I ended up copying and pasting everything into Word, then analyzing my new file.

This is not an ideal way of doing it because it is all too easy to miss highlighting data or skip over sheets 2, 3 and 4 by forgetting to click their tabs.
I'm still looking for a 3-click solution for analyzing 25 Excel files. ▲ Collapse

Start the Word program, and open the Excel file from within that program, open it as a Word file, that is. Then, Tools -> Word Count OR WordFast -> Analyse!

Which version of Microsoft Word are you doing that with? And are you opening .XLS files (Excel's format) or CSV files (generic spreadsheet interchange format)
I can open an Excel file from within Word, but using Office 2003 I get gibberish.

Hi all,
I tried doing that in Word 2003 but could not get the right format to make the Excel file "readable" in Word. Xola, could you please send further explanation?
Thanks a lot!

Hi all,
I use Office 2000, so it should work even better with Office 2003. When you click open on an Excel file in Word, first an encoding window is shown where you make your choice. Then, in the beginning of the Excel file you might have some gibberish codes, small squares, signs etc., all over the place, just clean pass them, and further down starts your document. I work into Turkish, by the way, and two characters -peculiar to our alphabet- always display in a corrupted way, so ... See more Hi all,

I work into Turkish, by the way, and two characters -peculiar to our alphabet- always display in a corrupted way, so I correct them with Ctrl+H and proceed with my work. That doesn't take me more than a few minutes to clear, anyway, and since I never feel at home with xls format, I much prefer to give a few minutes to be able to work on Word, even without any CAT.
Hope this would be of help.
Regards
