Documents in a project package

PM send me a package. It has 5 documents as in the image below. The first 2 documents are .doc and the other 3 are .docx. My problem is when I opened the first 2 documents to translate, some function buttons are grey and are not available, such as Bold, Underlinem, Italics, Add New Term.

Trados Studio project window showing a list of 5 documents, with the first 2 labeled as .doc and the remaining 3 as .docx.

    What happens if you take the original source files and create your own project? If the SDLXLFF files you have been provided contain any content that is worth keeping (100% matches) then you could import these into a TM and then pre-translate your own project.

    It may be a problem related to the sdxliff files having been created by a different version of Studio, or even the DOC files being not what Trados considers a DOC file.  Some Asian variants of Word for example use DOC but the format is very different to Microsoft Word DOC and the formatting features may well not be available to you.  If you test creating your own project you'll have a better idea of where the problem comes from.
