I'm having a problem at translating a word document. I need to translate the text into "texte d'Arrivée" section as you may see in the screenshot. There's is a problem about row and column i think.


Thank you.

In such cases Aug 20, 2020

the simpliest way is to copy the source text from the left column into the right column, then hide the text in the left column and translate the right column.

When the translation will be ready, save the target file and unhide the left column.

The prposed solotion is good for Excel files where you can "Hide" colomns, in Word you can simply copy the source file, translate the copied file and then copy the translated colomn back to the source file.

In MS Word, hiding is even easier than in Excel. Just select the left column text and press Ctrl+Shift+H. Once translation is done, select all and press Ctrl+Shift+H two times to unhide all. As simple as that.

Ctrl+Shift+H solved the problem. I just copied the on the left to the right and hid. Thank you so much!
