Thank you in advance!

Field results? Jan 27, 2021

Remove the check mark from Ignore field results box and try reimporting the file.

Hi Selcuk,

Thank you for your suggestion. I've tried but with no result. What else can I do?

in separate segments Jan 29, 2021

Words in XE references (those between curly brackets) are in fact imported but you can find them in separate segments, following the sentence. So your sentence "Der Indexeintrag besteht aus {XE" Produktbeschreibung" }." will display in two segment as follows:

Der Indexeintrag besteht aus {1}.
Produktbeschreibung

Hi Selcuk,

Unfortunately XE references aren't present in separate segments.
My sentence "Der Indexeintrag besteht aus {XE" Produktbeschreibung" }." displays in only one segment:

"Der Indexeintrag besteht aus ."

Next segment contains another sentence.

Use MSO live filter for DVX3 and You'll get

Der Indexeintrag besteht aus {1}.
Produktbeschreibung


Another way - convert source to RTF/ XML etc in Word and back to docx after translation
