Hi everybody!

I have received an Excel file to be translated with Trados, but I've never done this before and I don't know how to do it.

Can someone tell me what I have to do?

T-window for excel Sep 7, 2004

Ciao.
Devi usare il modulo T-Window for Excel (non mi ricordo se è compreso nel pacchetto della versione 5.5)

Word and Excel should be the same version Sep 7, 2004

if you want to follow previous suggestion, which is the same, I would have made here.
This works very good.

For translating whole Excel sheets I would suggest you to upgrade to Trados 6.5, as you then will be able to translate Excel files using TAG Editor. This is very convenient.

Regards
Jerzy
