Splitting segments
If the initial segmentation of a file contains source segments that are too long (perhaps as a result of improper formatting in the source text) and that should be split, you can correct the segmentation and split the segments.
Before you begin
The project which the file belongs to must have the Allow editing of source text in segments setting enabled.
About this task
Changing the initial segmentation of a file may affect the matches delivered by a translation memory, because the segmentation in the translation memory might become different from the one in the file. You can revert to the initial segmentation of a split segment by merging it.

- Select the target area of the segment that you want to split.
- On the Home tab, in the Segments group, select .
- In the source segment, click in front of the word that should start the next segment.
