Dear colleages,
I am translating a very large PPT in Studio 2014. I am editing a lot of figures in the right column but not confirming such segments (Ctrl+Enter) because, among other reasons, if do so, the program considers them fuzzies/100% matches/repetitions, asks me if I want to apply my translation in the following segments and then "propagates" such figures in a different format I do not want.

I am translating a very large PPT in Studio 2014.

My question is, once I generate the target translation, will such figures in unconfirmed segments appear as edited by me (in the right column of Editor) or as they were in the source (in the left column of Editor)?
Thanks a lot in advance for your replies!

... unless you confirm the empty segment, in which case the segment will be empty in the target document as well.

... to wonder about it, Rebeca. You can export the job to PowerPoint whenever you want and take a look at the file produced. I don't have Studio 2014, only 2011, but I imagine it's the same principle.
