I've often wondered how to get back to a bilingual view of a translated text, once I've cleaned it. Wf gives me a file with an extension of BAK, which doesn't seem to have any use at all as far as I can see. I don't even know how to open them.[/quote]
When I’ve seen Wf files cleaned with Trados for the purposes of updating Trados TMs, I think the .bak files can simply be renamed with the original Word extension (so .doc or .docx) to obtain the original bilingual file.
