G'day everyone

G'day everyone

I discovered today during some testing that an MS Word DOC file that I translated in Wordfast Pro 3.1.3 has lost style information.

The test file contained a single sentence, and one of the words in that sentence was marked as the style tw4winInternal. I simply chose that style because it was the easiest one to pick from the styles dropdown list when I created the test file in MS Word. I "translated" the file in WFP using Ctrl+Alt+Insert (copy source to target). The translated DOC file had that word in the correct colour and font, but its style was changed to "Normal".

Will this sort of thing happen with all MS Word styles? Is there a way to force WFP to retain the styles?

Thanks
