G'day everyone

I'm a first-time user of Across. The client sent me a CWU file, so I assume I have to follow the instructions in chapter 7 of the user manual (on crossWAN). However, my "What do you want to do" screen does not have the option "Retrieve task". What should I do?

Thanks
Samuel

Has your client provided you with a CAP file to set up their remote client?

Nope... but is a CAP file (and a remote client) really required? I mean, isn't crossWAN all about working "offline"?

Not sure Aug 11, 2011

Have only ever seen the Retrieve task function come up when I've logged in via a client's remote access. You then get the option of either working online directly or using a CWU.

Sorry can't help any further, as I've only used it a handful of times.

Maybe try the FAQ on the Across website?

CAP file Aug 12, 2011

I think that you always need a CAP file from your client, whether they send the project as a CWU file or you download it from thier server.

The Standalone Personal Edition is only used when you have a document, like a Word document, that you want to translate.

I suggest you speak to your client.

Hope this helps,
Asa
