Question

export shows symbols (squares) not words or numbers

As a Translator I often export a document into Word so that I can translate by typing over the source document.

This is helpful especially when dealing with things like Profit and Loss statements and bank statements where I don't really want to retype columns of numbers.

Suddenly my export is giving me rows and columns of squares    instead of the text or the numbers.

Help!

I have 20 documents to translate and I've already tried a re-start and also re-downloading.

I don't have a scanner while on vacation or I'd try printing the source documents and re-scanning them in.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Tried using your online option. Same problem with the little squares.

I've been using your software export program for about a year and this is

the first time I've had this issue.

Could it be an update issue?

Note: I'm using the SPANISH version as the source is in Spanish.

ALL of the documents in a series 20 are due to be translated into English

by next week are giving me the same problems.

Please respect the privacy of my client.

Thank you.
