Source text in a translation is invisible

"My question is very specific. I translate documents using SDL TRADOS, where
I get a file which contains both the source as well as the target text shown
in two different colours. At times it so happens that the source text is
invisible or hidden, in which case when I had the version 2002 of MS word
earlier, I would simply go to TOOLS>>OPTIONS, select the VIEW tab, check the
option "View Source text" and confirm by clicking OK and the source text
would be visible right away. However with MS word 2007 (I upgraded recently),
I dont see any such setting. So what do I do if the source text is invisible
and only the target text is seen in a translation?? Thanks in advance

Hi Transdoc,

You may want to check with the folks at SDLTrados.com or http://support.sdl.com to see if your version works with Word 2007. SDL
Trados 2007 SP2 is, if I recall correctly, the current version. I'm guessing that the setting you were seeing in Word's options may
have been one generated by the SDL product add-in, unless you're thinking of the check box for 'hidden text' in
Tools=>Options=>View, which in Word 2007 is under
Office Button=>Word Options=>Display

If you have the Trados.dot file in the Word 2007 startup folder and add-ins enabled in the Word options you should see the Trados
tools in the 'Add-Ins' tab in Word.

There are a number of peer support forums for the SDL Translator products.
