When I translate an *.xls document and there are blank lines in a cell, Déjà Vu just ignores them, which means that the target text does not include a blank line where the source text does.

I would really appreciate your help.
Many thanks in advance,

thank you for your quick response.
That seems really strange to me. I am using Déjà Vu X2 (Version 8.0.480) and I did not change any settings concerning filters.
In the "filter options" section, it just says "xls - Microsoft Excel". The third tab is empty for some reason. For instance, in another row it says "doc - Microsoft Word - Nicht übersetzbare Notizen: + # @ A" (meaning "untranslatable notes"...). Do you think anything is missing the...

Nothing wrong with your filter settings, but perhaps it is bug in build 480. FWIW, latest build is 486, please upgrade and test it again.

TOPIC STARTER | Still not working | Aug 22, 2011 |
Hello Selcuk Akyuz,
Again, thank you for your help.
I have now downloaded and installed the very latest build and tried again. However, it is still not working. Déjà Vu keeps ignoring the blank lines.
Do you maybe have any more ideas what could be wrong?
Many thanks in advance.
Yours,
Stefan

Please let me know if you have any more idead.
Kind regards,
