Apparently this top of the line CAT is not even capable of opening a word document as is but must first be converted to another format (though which one I'm not sure, since I've not had any luck with .rtf) I'm quickly loosing patience.

You should be able to import a lot of formats besides rtf files, including, most definitely, Word files. So maybe something needs to be fixed? Can you give us some information, so we can figure out how to help you? What system are you using? Did you install the program from a disc or a download? How did you activate the software?

Please help I have been using Deja VuX for years and never had any problems. Deja VuX does not open the files, you have to import them. | | | Clarisa Moraña United States Local time: 09:30 Member (2002) English to Spanish + ...

Dear Robert, I am working as Head of Freelance Translators at Atril and would gladly help you out. As Déjà Vu can import all kind of files, there must be another problem. Did you maybe leave the documents that should be imported open on your desktop? This would generate an error message and Déjà Vu wouldn't be able to import the document. Otherwise, if you could send me some screenshots of the error mes... See more Dear Robert, I am working as Head of Freelance Translators at Atril and would gladly help you out.

This would generate an error message and Déjà Vu wouldn't be able to import the document. Otherwise, if you could send me some screenshots of the error message on my e-mail address: [email protected], this would help me understand what went wrong. Please be sure, that we are doing everything we can to support our customers as we want them to enjoy working with Déjà Vu as much as we do.
