The Preview window is docked in the top right hand-side of the Editor view. This window displays a WYSIWYG preview of the active document. It is updated in real time. This means that as you type, the changes you make are immediately visible in this window.

  • You can only preview Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, RTF, XML, HTML and PDF files in the Preview window. If you want to preview another type of file, use the View In option to preview the document in the application in which it was created.
  • If no preview of the file is displayed when you open the Preview window, select Click here to generate initial preview to display the preview.

Translation Results

This window displays the results of translation memory lookups and automated translation lookups for the active source segment. From here you can apply one of the results to the current segment.

By default, the Translation Results, Concordance Search, Comments, TQAs and Messages windows appear grouped together at the top of the Editor view. However, if you open a file for review, they appear at the bottom of the view as tabs. The Preview window appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the view.
