1 In my own computer, the bilingual docs is good and both source language and translated language are shown up. However, when I sent the docs to my friend or opened the word doc in another computer, only translated text is shown and somehow source text disappeared???!!!

2 I also try to switch the bilingual doc as pdf file and the same problem happened, the source text didn't show up in pdf file!!!

Someone could help me figure this out ?

Thanks in advance!!

Hidden text Jul 13, 2016

The source text is hidden text. You have to set Word to show hidden text - the ¶ symbol.

Hidden text will not show in the pdf, only in the Word document.

Hello,

Yes, you can print hidden text.

The following article explains which setting needs to be activated in Word to do this:
