I can export to txt and word correctly but the segments are segmented (sorry!) so I have to copy into a txt, delete all the line breaks and paste into the documents.

Solved? Sep 28, 2016

I just read this posting of yours:

As you know, CafeTran can do this, so I'm wondering: has your problem been solved?
