    Slides (MS PowerPoint based)

    File Types

    • .PPT

    • .PPTX

    • .POT

    • .POTX

    • .PPTM

    • .POTM

    OpenOffice or LibreOffice documents (.ODT, .ODS, or .ODP) are supported, but saving them in MS Office format before importing to Memsource is recommended.

    Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides are automatically converted to .DOCX, .XLSX, or .PPTX, when imported via the Google Drive connector.

    Import Options

    • Import notes

    • Import master slides

    • Import hidden slides

    • Import other text

      Extract special values/names/attributes of the file which are not usually translatable.

    Import order

    When importing slides in Memsource, text boxes are first ordered along the vertical axis and then along the horizontal one. The order of the corresponding segments in the Editor reflects the position of text boxes from up to down and then from left to right.

    Common errors on export

    • Marks reordered

      Run QA and fix any tag errors. If these are unimportant and ignorable warnings, download the file from the project and check it carefully against the source document. If you find noticeable formatting differences, it is recommended to fix those spots (the tag errors) in the job as well and confirm the segments to have error-free contents in your TM for future use.
