WORDBASIC means that antiquated 16-bit instructions, dating from the Windows 3 programming architecture of Word 6, are used in a 32-bit environment without being upgraded to native 32-bit code. Using Edit/Find, perform a search for "WORDBASIC" in the entire project. In the VBA window, double-click one module belonging to that template. One way to make sure: open such a template as a document. Some templates from seemingly "reliable" translation tool makers, even market leaders, are actually poorly engineered. Unfortunately, many programmers still use antiquated techniques dating back from Ms-Dos (8-bit architecture), or Windows 3 (16-bit architecture) using, for example, absolute I/O file numbers, instead of using the FreeFile function offered by Microsoft, or WORDBASIC functions. Microsoft has introduced a much more reliable and modern environment with the 32-bit VBA architecture of Word97 and higher versions. There are many ways of writing VBA, some of which are not really professional, resulting in poorly engineered applications. Microsoft Word templates and add-ins are programs that usually contain VBA code. A good half of service calls to the Wordfast hotline are actually caused by ill-behaved documents. The bottom line is that the customer should provide the translator with a clean, stable document. Always inform the client if you have to fiddle with documents. In desperate cases, try importing a problem document into a new, empty document, (using copy-paste or Insert/file).

If your customer cannot provide you with the referenced objects, make sure that Tools/Options/General does not require Ms-Word to update links when opening the document.

If the Word document has many fields (Tools/Options/View can be used to display field codes) that refer to non-existent graphics, indexes, links etc, you can have an erratic document behavior.

Deleting the reference to a non-existent template is usually safe, but should be done with the customer's consent and knowledge, so that the template attachment can later be restored. If a reference is made to a template that is not present in your hard disc, expect trouble.

Some customers send documents that were originally attached to a template (this can be checked by opening the document, then using the Tools/Templates & Add-Ins menu and looking at the top box).

If this is not the case, don't panic - just click the Tools menu, then Options (Preferences), click the View tab and check/uncheck the necessary options to restore your usual display setup. When a translation session ends, your previous display setup should normally be restored. With your disc explorer, right-click the file, click Property and uncheck the read-only checkbox.Īfter a translation session, Word displays paragraph marks or field codes or a strange font, or pictures are not displayed etc.ĭuring translation, Wordfast has to modify some display options in order to function properly.

This usually happens if the TM was intentionally read-protected, or if the TM comes from a CD-ROM. This means your translation memory has a read-only attribute. Wordfast says "Sorry, this file is read-only" Remove the protection, if there is one (Tools/Remove protection) before translation.
