Hi,

my goal is to produce the same document in multiple languages.
For example, immagine a document of about 200/300 pages with about 150 images and some text. The text has to be repeated first in english and then in another language. Images and the layout are always same. Finally I need to produce 2 separated PDF files, one in english and the other in another language.

Some time ago I discovered on this forum the possibility to use "IF FIELD". In other words, I created a variable called "language" and then all through the document, for each text string I wrote two different field: the first "IF language=1:...text in english" and the second "IF language=2:...text in the other language"

This approach worked quite good till now, but now I start to bear some limits of this approach:

- orthographic correction doesn't work for text into fields
- when you change the variable language and update fields in all documents, cross references doesn't work anymore and it is needed to redo all of them.

I understand that this is a very specific question, and it is not so easy to answer but maybe someone had my same need.

I also know that there are some specific software to do what I am asking. For example
http://www.keanet.it/come-realizzare...go-cms-pdm.htm
the page is in italian, but it is explained that this software makes exactly what I am asking. But, if possible I would prefer to continue to use MS word.

Any advices?
