Do you know if I would be able to do a re-wrap up in a project after making minor changes in the source documents of the porject? The changes are so small, I don't think it would be worth it to make changes on the Word document to reimport it all back into memoQ to track the changes and then confirm the translation.<br /><br />MariselAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14169697700916699247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-90744012485636229552015-12-21T15:15:20.798+00:002015-12-21T15:15:20.798+00:00Oh, that mysterious message about "ZIP" ...Oh, that mysterious message about "ZIP" files has also been changes to something that mere mortals will understand.

The DOC/DOCX problem is more subtle than the example I use in workshops, where content from a word processing file is moved to Excel or PowerPoint, and possibly some quirks in Word allow the filters to be tricked as you suggest. However, there has been an update to memoQ 2015 in recent builds (100+, not sure about other supported versions at the moment), which addresses the issue discussed here in a very good way. I have been intending to add this information as an addendum to this article but simply haven't gotten to it yet.<br />Some weeks ago, the Kilgray product manager showed me how the new Reimport function maintains previous settings if the reimported file type is the same as the last import of a given file, and if the file type is different, a more appropriate default is chosen. In cases such as multilingual Excel files or files with special import settings needed (such as to include hidden text for a word processing file), changes may still be needed to import settings, but generally things will work better with the new programming.Kevin Lossnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14727800526216764023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-13086989296503512772015-12-20T12:28:31.450+00:002015-12-20T12:28:31.450+00:00I just experienced the same problem yesterday.

We reported it to Kilgray a couple of weeks ago, and we're also working with them to help them pin the issue down.<br /><br />Keep taking the gingered lime tea, and "good bettering"!<br /><br />Nick Rosenthal<br />Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309284625775967598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20155610.post-77846523613540549842015-10-27T23:38:10.188+00:002015-10-27T23:38:10.188+00:00No I haven't, but then I haven't had a fil...No I haven't, but then I haven't had a file recently where that would occur.

After copying and pasting into a new document in Word after export the text boxes revert to Drawing objects, so some "memory" of the old object is retained, but a cursory examination of the document.xml before and after memoQ reveals some significant tag stripping.Iwan Davieshttp://translutions.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
