I´ve tried to save the document as a Word-document and then back to RTF but it doesn´t help.

Any clues what this can be?

Well-documented issue Oct 21, 2004

It's also a good idea to use the ProZ.com forum search - just try entering "separator", and you'll find a few threads where this issue was discussed previously.

HTH - best regards, Ralf

Just make sure that you return the original setting after you have finished the file.
The changed global setting may otherwise cause problems in other applications, such as Excel.
It amazes me that Trados still needs this solution because of sloppy format template creation.
