Please help.
My Trados toolbar with the little red man is not anymore on the interface of Word. I tried View/Toolbars but is not there. Any suggestions?

Hi Arben!
Can you give us a bit more information to work with please.
Can you still see the little flagman (with the red flag)?
When you go to view/toolbars do you have a T4Win option available? (If so, check the box).
Have you made any changes to your normal.dot template?
Best,
Alison

Hi Arben,
On a general note, please try to provide as much information as you can - in this case, which version of Trados are you using, which Word version and which operating system? Also, are the icons still there, or have they gone as well?
The first thing to check is to make sure that the 'tradosX.dot' template (where 'X' is the version number of your Trados installation) is activated in Word (Tools - Templates and Add-ins).

One possible reason for a disappearing tool bar could be that your normal.dot template is corrupt - see this article from the Trados Knowledge Base for details.
Improper handling of footnotes when using Trados can also destroy the tool bars - see this article for details.

Trados. There, you should have a Trados(x).dot file where (x) is your version number.
If you have this file, enable it in Word from Tools, Templates and complements.
I have the Spanish Word version, but I think you'll soon find the path.
Good luck!

Have you checked in Word, Tools, Templates and Add-ins if the checkbox for Trados.dot is marked? If not, check it and press OK.

| Try one of the following steps | Oct 26, 2003 |
Switch Word off. Locate the "Normal.dot" on your PC. Note very carefully the location of this file for further purposes. Rename the file to "Normal.do_" (or similar). Restart Word. If you see the Flagman now, your Normal.dot template is corrupted. You can restore most of your individuall settings in this file via menu "Format - Templates and add ons" (I´m refereing to german version of Word XP, this may vary for other Word versions).

Please refer to Word help, how to organise (copy) templates and styles.
If you do not see the Flagman, then your Trados template is corrupted. Depending on your Trados version you will have a TW4win.do, Trados5.dot or Trados6.dot on your PC. Locate the installation folder of your Trados installation and the template folder within (usually it is: c:\\Programm files\\Trados\\Tx_FL\\TT\\Templates; where Tx means the version of your Trados, however this path may vary). Or simply locate all *.dot files on your PC and note their location. Copy the proper Trados template from Trados installation folder to your Word startup folder (this is the folder, where the working copy of Trados template is stored).
Restart Word.
Afterwards you should be able to see your Flagman again.

| Check trados5.dot/trados6.dot and normal.dot before reinstalling | Oct 26, 2003 |
Hi again, Arben,
Thank you Alison for you answer. The T4Win and the flag are not there anymore. I haven't make any changes. It just disapeared.
Sorry, but even Trados icons don't disappear by themselves...something must have changed - you might just be unaware of it, or might not realise the connection.
Maybe i should unistall and reinstall it?
That's always a possibility, but won't necessarily help you - for instance, if your normal.dot template is corrupt, a reinstallation of Trados won't help at all.
One more thing to check: are you using Adobe Acrobat 6.0 (the full version, not Acrobat Reader)? The related Word template (PDFmaker.dot) has the nasty habit of "kicking out" other template-based menus (NB this is an Acrobat issue), although the flagman would remain in place.
Best regards, Ralf

To avoid having to manually activate the template, copy the tradosX.dot file from your Templates folder (default path: c:\Program Files\TRADOS\T6_FL\TT\Templates) into the startup folder for MS Word (default path for Word XP: c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup). When you launch Word the next time, the Trados template will be activated automatically.

My TRADOS toolbar disappear this afternoon too. I tried re-copying into Word's template folder as well as checking the box in the Templates menu in Word, but to no avail. Word still kept on telling me that the template didn't exist, even though I'd checked the box. On copying the TRADOS5.dot file into c:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Startup, it now works again like a dream!
Thanks Ralph!

"Since the incorrect Word view settings have been written to the registry, you have to edit a particular registry entry as follows to correct the problem:
1. Close Word 2003.
2. From the Start menu, select Run.
3. Type regedit into the Run box, and click OK.
4. Open the following key:
* Word 2003: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Data.
5. Highlight the Data key, and press [Del].
6. Confirm that you want to delete the key.
7. Close the registry.
8. Launch Word again. The toolbars and menu bar are reset to their default options."
