I am translating a text in Word Document. It is disappearing and the number of characters is frozen.
I am translating a text in Word Document. After a while, I noticed that while the actual number of characters was higher, the number stalled at 1788 characters without spaces. In fact it should be around 5000 characters. Then I copied the text to another document and it still showed 1788 characters. Then I started to delete the paragraphs until it showed another character number, that is, less than the actual one. It went down to 1600 then when I added the deleted paragraphs it was once again stuck in 1788. I copied the deleted part to another page and it showed 0 character.
Afterwards I sent the file to a friend of mine, who told me that there were only 1788 characters and no more. She did not see the rest of the document, which appears as "0" character. I tried to copy that part onto several pages but alas all pages showed 0 character. I tried to copy it in Whatsapp or Skype but there was nothing to paste. There were no copied parts so I could not paste any. I am re-writing the "0 showing" paragraphs again because there is no other solution I could find. Has anyone heard of something like this? I fear that I will translate a huge file (1000 pages for example), send it to customer and she will tell me that the file is blank! |

How are you doing the translation?
Manually or using Word or some other translation service? How are you adding the text? Typing? or Pasting? By the way, I changed the title of your post. Everyone posting here has a big problem and the titles allow those responding to pick posts where they think they might have something to contribute. (This is not a criticism of your post, everyone starts at the beginning.) See How to post a question on this MSOffice forum |

Thank you for Heads-up. When I was writing the post, I was actually panicked that I would lose my translation file so I nose-dived to the forum. I apologize.
I translate texts in a PC manually. x I type as I continue to translate. It is as if you paste a picture onto a word file page. You see the picture or graphic with contents on it but the actual character count is zero (0). It only appears as a picture so the Word does not count it. This is something like this. |

Is anything being pasted into it?
Is this just one document? |

Is this related to tracked revisions? Is the zero character chunk tracked as inserted or deleted text?
Are the characters in question written in English or is it the other language/typeface that is the issue?
