In memoriam | Consider upgrading to 6.5.5 | Feb 17, 2005 |
Leaving one or two source letters at the beginning of the sentence seems to be one of the "quirks" of T-Window for Powerpoint. I've had that happen, too.
T-Window is a clunky user interface at best, and I've found that it often was more hindrance than help.
If you do a lot of PowerPoint translations, you might want to consider upgrading to 6.5.5. As of v. 6.5, you can use TagEditor to translate PowerPoint (and Excel) files, and I've found it to be a godsend. Its so much...

If you do a lot of PowerPoint translations, you might want to consider upgrading to 6.5.5. As of v. 6.5, you can use TagEditor to translate PowerPoint (and Excel) files, and I've found it to be a godsend. Its so much cleaner and easier, no more hangs and/or crashes (something I ran into quite frequently with T-Window for PP.) When you first open a PP file in TagEditor, it may seem like the program is hanging, especially if it's a large file. But once all the tags have been inserted (which can take some time, I go and have a cup of coffee... ), it opens quickly. For me personally, being able to use TagEditor for PP files was reason enough to upgrade. ▲ Collapse
