MemoQ docx import settings dialog Microsoft Office Word 2007 documents (DOCX)

Invoking

In the Translations pane of Project home, click Add document as… below the document list, and in the Open dialog, locate and select a Microsoft Office Word 2007 or 2010 file (with the .docx extension).

Options

Markup area:

· Import markup as inline tags: Choose this radio button to import formatting as XML-like formatting tags. This option will give you some insight into the nature of each formatting tag.
· Import markup as memoQ {tags}: Choose this radio button to import formatting as traditional memoQ {tags}. This option will show tag numbers instead of tag contents, but the text itself might be easier to read in some cases.
 

Content to import area:

· Import hidden text: Check this check box if you want hidden text to be imported with document.
· Import TOC: Check this check box if you want the table of contents to be imported with the document.
· Import comments: Check this check box if you want comments to be imported with the document.
· Import index: Check this check box if you want the index to be imported with the document.
 

Excluded styles area:

Here you can specify both external and internal styles that you do not want to appear in the translation grid. External text will behave as non-movable structural elements, while internal text will behave as movable inline tags.

· Excluded styles text box: Enter the name of a style you want to specify as external or internal.
· External: Check this check box to specify the style you entered as external. Uncheck this check box to specify the style you entered as internal.
· Add style: Click this button to add the style you entered to the list of excluded styles.
· Remove style: Click this button to remove the selected style from the list of excluded styles.

Note: If you import a DOCX document without invoking this dialog, the default options (shown on the screenshot above) are used.

Note: If you import a DOCX document with tracked changes, memoQ will import the document as if all the changes were accepted.

Special characters area:

Here you can specify how memoQ should handle soft breaks and tabulators. A soft break is a break at the end of a line that occurs automatically at a pre-defined right margin or at the end of a page. A soft break can also be inserted manually by pressing Shift+Enter. The tabulator is a character that provides uniform indentation for the first line of each paragraph. Your options for these special characters are the following:

· Start new segment: Choose this option if you want memoQ to start a new segment at each soft break and/or tabulator. This is the default value for soft breaks.
· Show as inline tag and start new segment: Choose this option if you want memoQ to show each soft break and/or tabulator as an inline tag and start a new segment at each of them.
· Show as inline tag: Choose this option if you want memoQ to show each soft break and/or tabulator as an inline tag. This is the default value for tabulators.
 

Fidelity area:

· Ignore minor formatting changes for fewer tags check box: This is useful when you work with a scanned document or a document converted from a PDF file. Check this check box to reduce the number of tags in your translation document. When this option is turned on, memoQ will ignore formatting changes such as baseline shifts, character spacing changes, and character compression.
