Attention: macros bellow will not be necessary
for DV's newer builds (posterior to 2.0.238). DVX export external
view files readable in OOo
Sabine created a couple of OOo macros
to allow the editing of a 2-columns file in OO.
1 - Macro to convert
a DV3 exported table into a three column OOo table for easier
proof reading (click
here to download).
2 - Macro to convert
a OpenOffice.org three column table (previously created with the
DV_txt_list_to_table.bas macro) into DV3 importable text format
(click here
to download).
For instructions on how to copy the macro into the OOo-Macro section,

Most problems on HTML files are related to
wrong syntax. This can cause text to disappear, bad formatting,
etc. To check syntax, use an HTML Validator before translating.
There
are two ways to get accented words in HTML files: the "normal"
way (á, ã, etc.) or the encoded way (á, etc.)
For
Déjà Vu to use the second way, when exporting a
translated file, in the Export What dialog box, choose
Export as plain text and Export special characters as
entities.
The first thing to check with TMX files is
whether they are valid XML files. If they are not valid XML, then
DVX will not import them (and they are not valid TMX either).
The easiest way to check this is to rename the file and give it
a ".xml" extension. Then open this file in your favourite
Internet Browser. If the file is valid, it will probably take
some time to load and it will display the TMX file in some sort
of tree view. If it is not valid, then it will point out the error.
