Hi, Paul

Thank you very much for responding to my question.

I use word 2007 and I 'm not sure if that's why, but I couldn't find the other DOCX file type in word options. So I saved the file in the doc file type (word 97-2003) after executing the "open and repair" process and removing the table of contents as you said. I could successfully convert the file into a sdlxliff file this time, but when I tried to convert it back to a word file by executing the "Generate Target Translation" process, I received an error message saying "An error occurred while converting the document back to Microsoft Word format." The detail of the error is as shown in the attached image.

Do you have any idea for the reason and could you suggest another solution to the problem?

I will thank a lot for your further help!

Regards,

I was referring to the filetype options in Studio, not Word.  If you look in your File -> Optoins you will see this:

You have two DOCX filetypes and one DOC.  So try reversing the order of the DOCX so that when you open the file for translation as a new project it is prepared with a different DOCX filetype.  You can do this by highlighting the top one in the list and clicking on the move up and move down commands on the bottom right of your screen in this pane:

If that doesn't work, seeing as you are clearly having some problems can you share the following files with me?

- original source DOCX file

- fully translated sdlxliff file

If this is ok you can email them to me at pfilkin@sdl.com

Thank you

Paul

Hi Paul,

I did what you explained in the above message and it worked!
I could successfully open the target translated word file.

I really appreciate all your kind help!

Thanks again and best regards,
