Hi all,
I have Excel file with 2000 cell. It is one column and 2000 rows. I want to open it in Trados Studio, so that I have only 2000 segments. In my file, every cell contains more than one sentence separated by fullstops. As you know, Trados consider every single sentence as one segment.
I have tried with Files Types settings, but can not see such option available for Excel 2007.
Thanks very much in advance.
