Hi!
I am very confused and stressed out! A few weeks ago my laptop died and bought a new one, with win7.
I installed Trados 2007. Everything seems fine when I use it with Tag editor. But, I just got a big project and I need to translate directly in Word (2003). Now, although I have the Trados bar in the word doc, everytime I hit Open, I get the message: "No se encuentra la macro o bien está deshabilitada debido a la configuracion de seguridad de macros"(macro can not ...

Now, although I have the Trados bar in the word doc, everytime I hit Open, I get the message: "No se encuentra la macro o bien está deshabilitada debido a la configuracion de seguridad de macros"(macro can not be found or is disabled due to the security configuration of macros).
What is wrong? What am I doing wrong?
Also, I have a nice job that I could be getting but I need Synergy. I got it but I get an error everytime I open it "SDL Trados Synergy Stopped working"
Will uninstall and install again will sort the problem out?
Will be great to get some light!!!
thanks!!!!!!!!!! ▲ Collapse
| | | | | Change Macro security settings | Jul 13, 2010 |
Hi Noelia
You can change the Macro security settings in Word 2003 under Extras - Macro - Security. Try "Medium" and see if it works now.
The names of the menu options will be different in Spanish, but I hope you can work it out.

Thank you!
Already tried, and still doesn´t work. I know at the beginning the bar didn´t appear, but my boyfriend managed to do it. Something about the templates?
I am completely lost! Everything was working so well in my previous laptop with my win xp!

| Try hotfixes and service packs | Jul 13, 2010 |
You can find hotfixes and patches at http://talisma.sdl.com (also check the relevant articles there), and you can download the latest version of 2007, including the service packs from your account at SDL. Maybe that will help. Also, you might want to check if your Windows user account has Administrator's rights (not sure that is necessary, but it won't hurt).

| Your best bet... to install Windows XP | Jul 14, 2010 |
Personally I would try to check with SDL that Trados 2007 is compatible with Windows 7. If you have the option to install Windows XP in your computer, do so and reinstall everything. This way you will at least ensure the compatibility with Trados 2007.
Something else you can try is to turn off the User Account Control ("Control de Cuentas de Usuario" in Spanish). Many normal features are impeded by the UAC and turning it off might help.

Also, in the long run I would recommend to buy a desktop computer of a reasonably good brand if you are a full time freelance translator, and use your laptop for travel. In my opinion a laptop is not as reliable as a fixed desktop computer, and will offer you less processing power. ▲ Collapse
| | | | | Perfectly compatible | Jul 14, 2010 |
Hi Tomás,
I can confirm T2007 is perfectly compatible with Win7 Home Premium. Perhaps it will be necessary to add the Trados8.dot(m) on the list of "Trusted Publishers" in Word while setting the security level to Medium or Low.

Thanks Stanislav! I did now know that. Good to know!

Thank you all for your tips. At the end we managed, was to do with a file not assigned properly or something (my boyfriend did it)
However, we can not get Synergy to work, and I do need it for an important bid.
Any ideas of why it refuses even to open?

| Why Synergy? | Jul 15, 2010 |
Hello Noelia,
Trados 2007 can work perfectly even without Synergy. May I know why you need it so desperately? And perhaps what the error message is that you receive?
| | | | | Why Synergy? | Jul 15, 2010 |
I entirely agree with Stanislav. Synergy is neither practical nor user friendly. We completely scrapped its use in Trados. It's far more flexible and straightforward to use files individually with the Workbench etc.

Thanks!
Don´t know why they want to use Synergy. The agency is a good one, and the client a very big company, and they require using Synergy.
I have never used it before, don´t know how it works, but it beats me not to be able to use it if I need it.
They sent me some files that can only open with Synergy, to do a technical test.
Is there a way around it? What can I tell the client? Should I even bother?
Once again, thank you!... See more Thanks!

Hi Noelia,
Before you discount this altogether I wanted to add a little more information to this thread. It may be that your customer has asked for Synergy because they are using TMS (one of the SDL Enterprise Translation Management Systems). This can create what is called a Synergy Package, although it may not have been generated by SDL Trados Synergy.
You can open this package in SDL Trados Synergy which will create a Project, and then by clicking on the Project and... See more Hi Noelia,

This can create what is called a Synergy Package, although it may not have been generated by SDL Trados Synergy.
You can open this package in SDL Trados Synergy which will create a Project, and then by clicking on the Project and selecting the Files View you will see all the bilingual files that are waiting for translation. In addition to this, there is often a reference to a remote server for TM's or MultiTerm connectivity and the Package sets this up for you automatically.
Maybe this is why your Customer has asked you to use Synergy? If you have SDL Trados Studio then you can try and open the Package with this and translate the files in Studio. If it works then the Package is definitely from SDL TMS. If it doesn't then it has been created by Synergy.

Thank you Paul.
My problem is I can not even open Synergy, therefore I can not open the files. I get a message "SDL Trados Synergy has stopped working", but it doesn´t even load, open.
The file is: SDL Trados Synergy Project Package. If I click to open it I get the error message I mentioned.
I have read in previous threads that there might be an incompatibilty with Win7 (64 bits).

Synergy 2007 doesn't run on 64-bit versions unless T2007 SP3 is installed (sold as Trados 2007 Suite).
We have installed a program to run XP virtually, and see if it works, but don't know if this is going to be the most logical and comfortable thing to do really.
AFAIK you may experience license issues for some Trados components, the XP mode is not supported by SDL (it uses the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol which is banned by SDL unless you have Professional floating license).
You can try to cascade RDPs, e.g. use TeamViewer or some VNC.
IMO it's crazy but it should work.
Cheers
GG
