On your computer or on a server? memoQ will create the stop word list at the location shown at the top, in the Server URL box. At first, it is My Computer: memoQ will create the new stop word list on your computer. However, you can select a server at the top, in the Server URL box. In that case, memoQ will offer to create the stop word list on that server - if you have the permission to do so.

1. In the list of stop word lists, select the one you need to copy.
2. Under the list of stop word lists, click Clone.
3. The Clone stop word list into a new resource window opens. It's the same as the Create new stop word list window.
4. Type a name for the stop word list. You may also type a description.

   To learn more: See Help about the Create new stop word list window.

5. Click OK.

Normally, memoQ will show stop word lists from your own computer. However, you can manage online stop word lists from memoQ TMSs that you have access to.

To view the stop word lists from a memoQ TMS or from a memoQ TMS cloud:

1. At the top of the Resource console window, click the Server URL dropdown.

2. Type or choose the address of the memoQ TMS, and click the Select  button.

   You may need to log in: If you access this server for the first time, the Log in to server window opens. You need a user name and a password to access the server.

3. memoQ will show the stop word lists from that server and from your computer (those never disappear).

   Online stop word lists have the cloud or the sun icon, and the server is shown next to them:

The sun icon means that your computer has automatically downloaded the stop word list, so that it can be used in a project without delay.

You must have permission for the stop word lists: It is not enough to have access to the memoQ TMS. To use a stop word list, you need at least Use permission over the stop word list itself. If you are not sure, contact the owner of the memoQ TMS.

Now you can create or edit stop word lists on the server, or perform other actions on them. You need permissions over the stop word lists to do so.

Normally, memoQ shows online stop word lists only if their server is selected in the Server URL box.

However, if you frequently use a stop word list, you can pin it to the list. To pin an online stop word list to the list, click the empty cell at the left of its row:

When a stop word list is pinned to the list, it shows a pin in that cell:

When you select another server or My Computer in the Server URL box, the pinned stop word list remains on the list.

If there are too many stop word lists on the list, you can filter the list. At the top of the Stop word lists tab, there is a Language drop-down box and a Name/description box.

In the Language drop-down box, choose a language. Type a word or two in the Name/description box. It will narrow the list immediately to those stop word lists of the selected language or to those that have those words in their names or descriptions.

To sort the list by a detail: Click the header of the column you need. For example, to sort the list by name, click the Name header at the top of the list.

You can export a stop word list into an .mqres file. An .mqres file is an XML file where memoQ saves resources like stop word lists, QA profiles, TM settings etc. These are called light resources because they don't contain a large amount of linguistic data.

To export a stop word list:

1. In the list, select the stop word list you need to export.
2. Under the list, click Export. A Save As window opens.

   Or: Right-click the stop word list. From the menu, choose Export.

3. Find a folder and a name for the file, and click Save. memoQ will export all details from the stop word list in the file.

   You can also import a stop word list from a .mqres file. When you import an .mqres file, memoQ will always create a new stop word list.

Because memoQ saves all kinds of resources in .mqres files, you need to make sure that your .mqres file contains a stop word list.

To import a stop word list from an .mqres file:

1. At the bottom of the Stop word lists tab, click Import new. An Open window appears.
2. Select the .mqres file. Click Open.
3. The Import new stop word list window opens. It's the same as the Create new stop word list window.
4. memoQ will pick up the name of the rule set from the .mqres file. However, you can give it a new name, and type a new description, too.
5. Click OK.
