Problems with glossary Autor wątku: Kate Ferguson

I downloaded the trial version of Wordfast Classic 6.03t onto a new computer (Windows 7, Office 10, working with standard .doc Word documents). The TMs work fine but any time I try to add a word to a glossary Word crashes.

Thanks,

WFC wants the glossary to be in "Unicode" format (i.e. UTF16LE). Some versions of WFC will wipe a glossary if it isn't in that format. For example, WFP saves glossaries as UTF8, which would cause that behaviour. Open your glossary in MS Word and resave it as "Unicode".

Thanks for your reply. I checked to make sure that the glossary was saved as unicode (it was), tried again and Word still crashes

I have the same problem (Wf Classic 6.03t, Mac OS 10.6.8) - whenever I try to add a word to a glossary, Word crashes and the Glossary is empty after reorganisation. Any help would be much appreciated.

Give the beta version (6.05) a try, I believe it takes care of the glossary wiping issue.

You're welcome! Keep in mind it's a beta version, although I'm using it in production without adverse effects. You can subscribe to the WFC beta mailing list if you need to report problems with it.

Unfortunately even with the beta version my glossaries get wiped. I again tried loading other versions but word either crashes or the glossary gets wiped. Does anyone have any more ideas of how to solve this?

Thank you very much, for me it works fine with Version 6.05b, no more glossaries get wiped.
