Hi pascal goux

As Trados 2007 is very old, twelve years to be precise, it is no longer supported by SDL. This also could be a Word error. 

Have you tried translating your Word documents in TagEditor instead?

All the best,

Alison

Thanks for your reply.

If I leave the file TRADOS8.dotm (in addition to the file TRADOS8.dot) in the folder C:\Users\Pascal\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP, then I get the error message described initially. But the good thing is that I get a Trados menu in Word.

If I remove the file TRADOS8.dotm (and only leave the file TRADOS8.dot) in the folder C:\Users\Pascal\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP, then I don't get the error message described initially. But the sad thing is that I don't have a Trados menu in Word, I can still access the Trados functions but they are included in the 'Complements' menu of Word and the use of Trados functions is very slow.

Now, to reply to your question, if I use TagEditor, then I don't get the error message described initially.

So I could use TagEditor but then I've got another problem: the spell checking function is not accessible (the button is greyed).

The ideal for me would be to be able to use Trados with the presence of the Trados menu in Word. There is no valid reason why I could not use the same configuration (same Trados and same Word versions) on the same computer (that I've used for years).

Maybe the problem lies in the presence or absence of the proper Trados8.dot and/or Trados8.dotm file(s) in the proper folder.

Hope you can help further.

Thanks

I managed to fix my problem. I copied the file TRADOS8.dotm from another computer and now I've got a Trados menu and no more error message. Thanks to everyone who read about my problem and took some time to think about it. Have a nice day.

Excellent Pascal! Well done
