How to remove tags from the original text

I went to the user's manual and I couldn't find the "Remove tags" feature/option.

if you tried this particular file in 2.5 you would get the same thing, because as I understand it, it has to do with the .docx format. I use Codezapper, which works fine. Alternatively, if you don't need ANY tags in the document, use the "remove tags" setting at Project > Properties (Control +E).
Someone else may have another solution for you.

Thanks to a bug in ProZ.com's forum software that hasn't been fixed in (oh, I think) ten years, that is not what you get. What you get, is this:

"decidido manifestarnos y actuar en el continente, involucrando a diversos actores sociales, y buscando concientizar a la sociedad."



"Remove tags" is in the Project > Properties dialog. But that will remove all tags, not just the unuseful ones. Are you sure the file would look better in an earlier version of OmegaT?

What you show makes me think that the document was produced by OCRing or converting a PDF file. Anyway, read Marc Prior’s guide on DOCX compatibility. If your document contains no particular formatting, try clearing it (select text and, as I remember, Shift+Ctrl+O). Unlike removing tags in the OmegaT project properties menu, resetting the formatting will save certain elements represented as tags at their respective positions. Also, try a simple trick: convert the document to RTF and back to DOCX.

Thanks for the "remove tag" advice. It worked and solved the problem. The target document without the tags looks exactly as the original source document.

FWIW, as Marc mentioned in another thread, the "Remove tags" feature doesn't actually remove any tags -- it simply shoves all the tags of the segment to the end of the segment, without letting the translator see it. So, theoretically, if there is any loss of formatting, it should not affect more than just the one sentence that the formatting is in.

Hello everyone,

So I made the move from 2.5 to 3.1 as there were some new features the former (2.5) lacked, e.g. search and replace (CTRL+K). However, 2.5 had an "advantage" over 3.1 in that I didn't have any problems with the original text containing tags. I just started a new project and within one paragraph, one single word has been broken down into syllables with tags. This has happened throughout the text in all the paragraphs.

I would like to eliminate these tags from broken down words from the paragraphs in the original document as it makes it impossible to spot words rightaway. This is what I get: "decidido manifestarnos y actuar en el continente, involucrando a diversos actores sociales, y buscando concientizar a la sociedad."

I went to the user's manual and I couldn't find the "Remove tags" feature/option. I learned about CodeZapper but I'd like to remove the tags directly from OmegaT.

Thanks in advance.
