Inserting tags using QuickInsert

You can use the QuickInsert group to insert tags into a target file. This is useful when you want to apply formatting quickly.

About this task

By default, SDL Trados Studio settings specify that recognized formatting tags are hidden, therefore tags remain hidden when inserted and instead the text is formatted in the style in the Editor window.

Procedure

  1. Go to the Projects view and select the project you want to work on.
  2. Go to the Files view and double-click the file you want to work on.
  3. Insert tags from the QuickInsert group.
    • In the Editor view, of the Editor window, place the cursor in the target segment and click the appropriate button in the QuickInsert group. The tag pair is inserted at the cursor position.
    • In the Editor view, of the Editor window, select the text in the target segment and click the appropriate button in the QuickInsert group. The tag formatting is applied to the selected text.
