What can you do?

Normally, memoQ imports text from active and from locked text layers within the Photoshop file. memoQ doesn't import text from hidden text layers.

To import text from hidden text layers: Check the Import text from hidden text layers check box.

To ignore text from locked text layers: Clear the Import text from locked text layers check box.

No formatting: memoQ doesn't import formatting information from Photoshop files. Exported files may need to be edited.
