Chapter 4: Using the Plugins for Microsoft
Office
The plugins for Microsoft Office are supported by:
 SYSTRAN Office Translator
 SYSTRAN Professional Standard
 SYSTRAN Professional Premium
The features and limitations of your software may vary, depending on the
product you purchased. For more information, see Table 2 on page 9.
The SYSTRAN 5.0 plugins for Microsoft Office work with the following Microsoft
Office 2003, XP, and 2000 applications:
• Microsoft Word
• Microsoft Excel
• Microsoft PowerPoint
• Microsoft Outlook
These plugins also work in a limited way with Microsoft Office 97. The
limitations are documented under Translating Selected Text in Microsoft Word
on page 45 and Using Word’s Extended Alignment Feature on page 46.
Outlook Express is not supported by SYSTRAN 5.0.
The plugins place toolbars in these Office applications automatically. Using these
toolbars, you can translate an entire Microsoft Word document, PowerPoint
presentation, or Excel spreadsheet, while preserving format and layout. When you
translate a document, presentation, or spreadsheet, the SYSTRAN plugins create a
new target file that contains the translated text. To make it easy to find the translated
file, the plugins assign a name that is similar to that of the source file, with the final
characters denoting the source and target languages. For example, if you translate a
Word document called
RESUME.DOC from English to French, the target file will be
named
RESUME_ENFR.DOC, where EN denotes English and FR denotes French.
The plugin for Microsoft Word also provides the following features:
• Translation of selected text.
In addition to translating an entire Word document, you can translate selected
text and then specify whether the translated text should replace the original text
or be inserted next to it.
