The copy and paste commands are not working when I try to copy a word or phrase from the editor screen in Trados (2011) into another applicaiton such as Google, Linguee or Word. I have tried both the softkey combos and right clicking and using the copy and paste commands. Nothing works. It is not the clipboard itself, because I can copy and paste to and from other applications just fine. What is going on? Is this some kind of weird setting in Trados that I have somehow activated? | | | Tatiana Nikitina Russian Federation Local time: 08:25 Member (2011) English to Russian + ...

Can't even copy from Concordance window and paste to Editor window inside Trados Studio | | | Rebecca Holmes United States Local time: 01:25 German to English TOPIC STARTER
Well, if nothing else I am glad I am not alone. Yes, I noticed the same thing with the concordance, Tatiana. Doesn't work for me either.

Tatiana, I don't think it is document-specific, but just to make sure, you are not working on a text on vocational education, are you? | |

Are you working on a Windows 7, 64-bit system? I have a couple of comments in another forum that indicate it may be a common Windows 7 problem, but the copy and paste functions are working fine for me in everything but Trados. What about you? | | | very strange... | Dec 20, 2012 |
dear Rebecca and Tatiana, I can only think that maybe your problem would be solved by restarting your computer. it's a simple solution you've probably already tried, anyway. I use Studio 2011 SP2R on a Windows 7 64 bits computer and have never experienced the problem. good luck! | | | Tatiana Nikitina Russian Federation Local time: 08:25 Member (2011) English to Russian + ...

Hi Tatiana, I had a look at those two posts and it does indeed seem to be the same problem. Turning Trados or the computer on and off again has absolutely no effect on the issue for me, however. Unfortunately. It seems to me like there is some kind of Trados/clipboard interface problem. Either the material being copied is not making it into the clipboard from Trados or not making it back out. Copy/paste works in all other applications for me, so I hesitate to try to do anythi...

Paul Filkin is supposed to be back in his office on Jan. 7, all I know to at this point is wait for him and hope he has a solution. If you come up with anything in the meantime, please let me know! Merry Christmas. Kind regards, Rebecca ▲ Collapse | | | Tatiana Nikitina Russian Federation Local time: 08:25 Member (2011) English to Russian + ... re-installation TRADOS | Dec 23, 2012 |
Hello, Rebecca, Yesterday I totally de-installed and then re-installed TRADOS, and now copy and paste function works OK. But I re-installed the older version (updated in July 2012, without later updates), as I need the function of saving comments from TRADOS to word files. Good luck! And Merry Christmas! Tatiana | | | Rebecca Holmes United States Local time: 01:25 German to English TOPIC STARTER Worked briefly and then stopped again | Dec 27, 2012 |
Hi Tatiana, I also de-installed and reinstalled. Copy/paste worked briefly and then stopped working again. I am totally stumped. Is yours still working after the re-install? Thanks, Rebecca | | | Tatiana Nikitina Russian Federation Local time: 08:25 Member (2011) English to Russian + ... Still working | Dec 28, 2012 |
Hello, Rebecca, Yes, my copy/paste function is still working. But I use older version of Trados 2011 (not updated). Tatiana | |

Eureka! I discovered what the problem is - it is my anti-virus protection software, Webroot. When I disable Webroot, the copy/paste function works. It must be trying to "protect" my computer by blocking copy/paste in Trados. Don't ask me why, but so it is. According to my computer guy, there is some way to add Trados to the list of programs Webroot will accept, so now I have to figure out how to do that. | | | Webroot protection | Jan 2, 2014 |
Thank you Rebecca for posting the solution - it worked for me! I am running Trados Studio 2014 on a PC with Windows 8. I managed to disable the conflicting protection in Webroot (Advanced settings > Shields > uncheck "Silently and automatically block untrusted access to user data"). After it was disabled and I tried a copy-paste, a pop-up window gave me the option to allow this for Studio. | | | It worked for me, too!!! | Aug 7, 2014 |
Many thanks, Rebecca, for sharing this explanation. I'd never have figured out it came from Webroot and I kept looking through Trados "options". And thanks to Isabelle for explaining how to do it! :=)
