Supported source document formats
There are a number of file formats you can import and export in memoQ. The ones described here are monolingual, as opposed to bilingual file formats used to exchange data with other CAT tools or other memoQ users. The support for different file types is implemented by means of so-called import filters. Whenever you click Import with options on the Documents ribbon, and then choose Change filter and configuration, the Document import settings window opens. Use it to configure individual import filters. Some of the filters offer important customization options. memoQ currently supports the following monolingual file formats:
Redundant filtersFor some document formats, memoQ offers several filters. Currently, HTML and PowerPoint are supported this way. In case of HTML, you can choose whether to use the 'traditional' filter, which gives you text with meaningless formatting tags, or an 'XML-based' filter that shows the contents of the HTML tags, too. With PowerPoint, if you have Office 2007 or higher installed, you can choose to import PPT files through the PPTX filter (in addition to the traditional filter). In this case, memoQ first asks PowerPoint to save the PPT file in the PPTX format, and then reads the resulting PPTX file. |
