Hello. I was happily proofreading my WordFast document (I used Ctl - Comma) and I seem to inadvertently corrupted a code. Now I am getting an "open segment" message. My problem is that I can't find which segment that is. I have gone through the entire document and have not found any colored segements.
How do I find the open segment? (And how do I fix it?)

You can try this macro to check for segmentation errors:
Sub ValidateSeg()

' Macro recorded 17-2-2003 by Arkady Vysotsky

Dim ok As Boolean
Dim stseg As Long
ActiveWindow.View.ShowAll = True
With Selection
.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory, Extend:=wdMove
.Find.ClearFormatting
.Find.Text = ""
.Find.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("tw4winMark")
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Do
If Not .Find.Execute Then
ok = True
Exit Do
End If
If .Text "{0>" Then Exit Do stseg = .Start
If Not .Find.Execute Then Exit Do
If Not ((.Text Like "") Or (.Text = "") Or (.Text = "")) Then Exit Do
If Not .Find.Execute Then Exit Do
If .Text "

forget it Edward, I'll send it through your profile because for some reason my message gets cut when I post.

| | | | | Close the segment | Nov 2, 2004 |
When you close the open segment, the cursor (and the page view) will go to the beginning of the next segment. If you cannot close it because it is corrupted, you can use the search function of Word to search for the color formatting of an open segment.
Gracielas Macro probably won't work here, because it is meant for Trados segments, not Wordfast.

| Great macro for Wordfast too | Nov 2, 2004 |
Arkady's macro works for Wordfast too. A Wordfast segmented document looks remarkably similar to a Trados segmented document. That was part of the reasons for Wordfast's instant popularity.

Gerard

| "clean" the file | Nov 2, 2004 |
When you create a "clean" file from your bilingual one (Tools - Clean Up...), and you open the cleaned file, any corrupted translation units will appear with a green arrow, much like the French quotation marks.
This will help you locate the corrupted or missing codes in the bilingual file.

Csaba,
Your suggestion was the simplest. I tried cleaning the file and there was absolutely no problem! So, for my purposes I am quite happy because I have a cleaned file, updated translation memory and a timely delivered translation.

Graciela,
Thank you for your email. That was nice of you. I haven't tried your macro suggestion as I wasn't that desperate yet. However, I will go back and give it a try when I have some time. I don't work with macros much so I would have to figure out the usage anyway. ▲ Collapse
