Post title: Alignment error: Edited source document?

Dear All,

Sometimes this alignment error happens if you edit the source document after generating the TXML file. So you can try to use the one sent by your client before changing.

Otherwise, you can create a new folder, copy the source document to it, (or just rename the old TXML file or the source document), open the source document (after moving or renaming) in WF Pro to generate a new TXML file, and run the Translation Memory on it using the toolbar button "Translate All".

Kind regards,
Yasmin

Dear Colleagues,

There are several potential reasons; the two main ones are:

1- Using an old version of Wordfast Pro (while the TXML file might be created in a newer one):
Please make sure you always have the latest version of Wordfast Pro. You can download and install the latest version of Wordfast Professional available at:

2- Using Expand/Shrink Segment extensively:
Import another copy of the source file into Wordfast Pro and pre-translate using the toolbar button Translate All. Do not use Expand/Shrink Segment.

If the problem persists, please send me the problematic files (the source file and TXML).

I hope this helps.
