Hi all,
I’d need your help on the following technical issue (sorry if it has been already addressed in this forum).
I’m working with Trados 6.5 on an Excel file using Twindows. I don’t know how to start a new paragraph within the same segment.

Hi all,

I’m working with Trados 6.5 on an Excel file using Twindows. I don’t know how to start a new paragraph within the same segment.
I thought of using the ‘Copy source button’ to have all the paragraph beginnings displayed correctly in the target segment, but it doesn’t work. Pressing it just causes paragraph beginnings to be turned into a little square symbol.
Can you help?
Thank you very much in advance

Use TagEditor Sep 27, 2005

Use TagEditor instead of T-Window for Excel, it's much better.

How do you insert a paragraph with Tag Editor? Sep 27, 2005

Hynek, Tag editor is based in a tag system. Do you know which is the required tag for inserting a paragraph?

Thanks

Line break in TagEditor Sep 27, 2005

Actually, it's a line break, not paragraph break. The tag is <br/>, but you won't have to enter it manually, because it will be present in the source segment.

You can also configure TagEditor to apply segmentation after a break tag (open Programs - Trados 7 Freelance - Filters - Filter Settings, go to Excel filter settings - Segmentation and check "Segment after break tags").

I greatly appreciate your help! It's very important to know it! Know I'll recognize the tag, and If I need it, I'll insert it.

Regards,

I usually use Ctrl + Enter Sep 27, 2005

When in the target segment, I press Ctrl + Enter to jump one line down without making any breaks in the target segment.

Actually, Ctrl+Enter in Word inserts a page break. To insert a line break, you have to press Shift+Enter.

None of these shortcuts works in my TagEditor (version 6.5 or 7). According to Help, the shortcut for BR is Ctrl+6, but it inserts a different tag. I can insert BR by pressing Ctrl+9 in TagEditor 6.5. In TagEditor 7, it only moves cursor to the left. Great, another bug, as if there were not enough of them in TE7...

W-Window does NOT reproduce line breaks within Excel cells Sep 27, 2005

If there are line breaks in Excel (placed with ALT+ENTER), they will be shown in the source text in T-Window and if you use the command "Paste source" it will be shown in T-Window.
But after saving the file the line breaks get LOST and are replaces by a small box.

If you will omit problems with translating Excel, use TAG Editor instead. It is possible since Trados 6.5.

Jerzy

I didn't have a page open, so I just tried to remember what I usually press to make a line shift.

Too bad this doesn't work in TagEditor.
