I have a serious problem...

I have quoted a project to be done in Alchemy Catalyst Lite based on the Analysis Report. However, when I have analysed the glossary based on the project with a CAT tool, it seems that the Analysis Report wordcount is just 60% of the total wordcount in the glossary (naturally I've counted only one column)!

Sorry for the late response. May 19, 2010

Hi Jabberwock,

We have most of the analysis issues in Catalyst 7 have been fixed in Catalyst 8.

Do you have to use Catalyst 7 for the project?

Thanks and regards,
Jette
