I bought the new Trados Freelance 7 beginning of the year and have been working with it relatively successfully. I'm usually able to locate answers to any problems I encounter.
I just ran into a problem, however, that I had no hits for.

I received a couple of Word files that appear relatively similar for a change. I have translated the first one successfully with Trados. Today I tried to use it on the other files and it is working with neither. All I get when I click the "ope... See more
I bought the new Trados Freelance 7 beginning of the year and have been working with it relatively successfully. I'm usually able to locate answers to any problems I encounter.
I just ran into a problem, however, that I had no hits for.

I received a couple of Word files that appear relatively similar for a change. I have translated the first one successfully with Trados. Today I tried to use it on the other files and it is working with neither. All I get when I click the "open/get" icon is this: -{}-.
I have unclicked the "hidden text" box, to no avail.

I did notice however that some functions seem to be blocked, such as the track changes function, and the "field codes" box in options/view is checked, but grayed out.

Any suggestions on how I can get Trados to work? I am using Word 2000.

Thank you in advance for any input!

...to SDL Trados Support - please use this forum to post topics related to SDL and/or Trados.

Can you please indicate which version you're using (full version number including the 'build number', please - go to Help - About... to find out)?

There are several possible causes, and several potential workarounds/solutions. You may want to search this forum (as well as the TW_users forum on Yahoogroups) for "curly brackets".

Answer to Problem found? Jun 24, 2006

I believe by going through the "curly brackets" links I have found the answer to my problem and I just confirmed it on the documents. The first one seems to have been unprotected, while the others are password protected.

Looks like I have to do them the only-fashioned way - typing - since they are due on Monday.

Thank you for your help!

Kind regards,
Kerstin

Or try the SDLX part of the SDL suite. No curly brackets there. Password protection of a DOC can be removed by opening it and saving again as DOC with OpenOffice Writer.

Other Options Jun 26, 2006

Thank you very much for the additional options, Piotr.
I'll definitely try them so that I'm prepared for next time.

I have not had the time to look into SDLX yet but have been hearing that it is more user-friendly.

It also looks like OpenOffice Writer has some other benefits I can use (creating PDFs etc.) so I'll explore this route as well.

Kind regards,
Kerstin
