I am sure that I have done this before, but cannot remember, nor find a clear reference.

Any help out there, please?

Kind regards

hide all such content in the Word document. All such hidden content will not appear in the edit interface. Once I finish the translation, I open the file, Ctrl-A and unhide.

In the Word 2007 document : Home>Font and click "Hidden" which will hide all the selected text.

Isn't the text highlighted in Studio as well? Feb 1, 2014

When I get documents with highlighted passages, they are highlighted in Studio as well, so I can easily see which passages I should translate and which not.
Is that not the same for you?
