Looking for tips on how to replace Trados menu on Word.
I know the issue has to do with Acrobat's template chocking on Trados somehow. I managed to activate both Trados and Multiterm toolbars, but the menu is still gone and the Flagman icon is grayed out.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

TOPIC STARTER | Trados / Acrobat incompatibility | Dec 26, 2005 |
Thanks for your answer, Elías.
Unfortunately, the fixes in that link refer to Trados toolbar, not Trados menu, which is what I need.
I guess what I am looking for is a solution that will fix the apparent incompatibility between Trados and Acrobat templates since I need both installed in Word.

If you insist you need Trados commands in a menu, you can create your own new menu and put into it any commands you want (from among tw4win... macros).
However, this is quite a lot of work and the result is somewhat "insecure" - namely, Word's approach to menus is rather unstable (any new menu can make your old *custom* menus hard to use in different ways) - that is why I prefer running Trados commands from a form (activated by my own macro, i.e., a button assigned to it) - this way...

Do you mean there's an easy way to use Trados menu options (Fix Document, Concordance, etc.) without using the actual Trados menu?

I am just not sure my understanding of "easy" is the same as yours
For example, an easy way of adding button for "fix document" is:
- right click on any toolbar, choose "Customize" in the local menu;
- on the "Commands" tab, choose the ctagory "Macros" (left of the large fields)
- browse the large field on the right ("Commands") to find "TemplateProject.tw4winResetDocument.Main"
- left click on that item and drag it to one of your toolbars
- it probably appears that as a large button with the complete text; right click on it and choose "default style"
- now the button has the "generic button image" - when you right click on this image, you can select "change button image" and choose on of the preset button faces, or "edit button image" and change the button image any way you like

| What happens if you deactivate Acrobat? | Dec 27, 2005 |
Hi Dyran,
Does the Trados menu reappear if you deactivate the PDFmaker template?
Best regards,

No, it only reappears after I completely uninstall Acrobat 7.
