I am new to Trados and not finding it an easy software; I've opened a word document on my trados which contains a table. The sentences in each cell divided and spread on to the next cell as bellow (each line is a cell):

Stimulation is too
strong
Decrease amplitude
Stimulation is not
strong enough
Increase amplitude
Stimulation does not
relieve your symptoms

I am new to Trados and not finding it an easy software; I've opened a word document on my trados which contains a table. The sentences in each cell divided and spread on to the next cell as bellow (each line is a cell):

Increase amplitude
Stimulation does not
relieve your symptoms
Adjust amplitude or change
to a different program
The pulses
(tapping sensations)
feel too slow.

Obviously it isn't possible to translate these sentences but I don't know how to get the sentences in the cells to merge into one sentence as it appears in the source document. I.E: Stimulation is too strong
Instead of Stimulation is too
strong
Maybe someone can help me? ▲ Collapse

Correct the source document Dec 21, 2014

Just correct the source document, i. e. join cells in the Word document before loading the file into Trados.

This normally does the trick for me.

Unwanted line breaks in source document? Dec 21, 2014

Often the problem may be unwanted line breaks in the source document. It may also be that the sentences are split on multiple cells, in which case the best would be to join them in the Excel file before import into Trados.
