Hi
I have had Trados for about three years and haven't used T-Window for
Clipboard before. I use Word 97 and Trados 5.5.
I am using the instructions in the Help section of T-Window but
things are not working out too well. I right-click and "Edit
Picture". Then I highlight a text chunk, as the Instructions call it,
and try to copy it.

I have had Trados for about three years and haven't used T-Window for
Clipboard before. I use Word 97 and Trados 5.5.
I am using the instructions in the Help section of T-Window but
things are not working out too well. I right-click and "Edit
Picture". Then I highlight a text chunk, as the Instructions call it,
and try to copy it.
Sometimes, when I try to use Copy, I cannot, because it is greyed in.
Also, when I try to use Copy Target, it is greyed in, too. When I
paste the translation, only one word appears when there are two, as
the box for the text is small and I cannot enlarge it.I know the
second word is in there laughing at me, because I can just see the
Trados Tag.
I've had better days! Any help welcome.

| Non-editable text? | Jun 11, 2004 |
Hi Rob,
Can you copy and paste these text strings normally? Note that you cannot copy text that's part of a picture or graphics file. T-Window can only work on what you can actually copy into the clipboard.
I know the second word is in there laughing at me, because I can just see the Trados Tag.
What tag are you referring to here? Where do you see that?
Best, Ralf

TOPIC STARTER | Text difficult/impossible to edit | Jun 11, 2004 |
Hi Ralf,
The main problem seems to be that the new translated text disappears in the boxes in the "picture". I found that out by just editing the picture in the original text; so you seem to be on the money with your initial reaction, "Non-editable text?"
I'll get back to the agency again.
Thanks for your help,
Robin

| Resize the boxes | Jun 11, 2004 |
If you can edit the picture in the original document and overwrite the text, then the text is probably editable, isn't it? I think you just have to resize the text boxes manually to see the pasted text or use a smaller font size, so that the text fits into the boxes without resizing.
