My source document is a Word document with English and Finnish text happily together. In Word, the customer has highlighted in yellow the new sections to be translated, and they are in English. Non-highlighted parts are already in Finnish in the source document. When I import the Word document into memoQ, how can I see which text was highlighted in yellow in original Word document? If I could, I could filter out only the segments needing translation. Thanks in advance!
