Blank lines in *.xls files Thread poster: Stefan Hummel

Hello everyone, I am relatively new to Déjà Vu but so far I have been really satisfied. There is only one problem I cannot seem to resolve by myself. That is why I would like to ask for your help. 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.

Hi Stefan, Just tested it with xls and xlsx files using both DVX and DVX2, blank lines were also exported. Can you give more details please, which version of DVX you are using (DVX1 or DVX2), filter used to import xls file. | | | Stefan Hummel Austria Local time: 14:50 English to German TOPIC STARTER More information | Aug 19, 2011 |
Hello Selcuk Akyuz, 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. | |

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 | | | Selcuk Akyuz Türkiye Local time: 15:50 English to Turkish + ... you can send the files | Aug 22, 2011 |
Stefan, I will try to find out what is going wrong if you can send the excel file and your DVX project file. | | | Stefan Hummel Austria Local time: 14:50 English to German TOPIC STARTER Unfortunately I can't | Aug 22, 2011 |
Dear Selcuk Akyuz, that's really kind. Thank you! Unfortunately I signed a non-disclosure agreement and therefore there is no way I could send my files to you (or anyone else). But thank you again for the offer. Please let me know if you have any more idead. Kind regards, Stefan | | | Selcuk Akyuz Türkiye Local time: 15:50 English to Turkish + ...
