Symptoms
You open a Microsoft Word document (.doc) in SDL TagEditor and translate it. When trying to save the translation using Save Target As, you get the error message "Error while writing breaks" and you are not able to create the translated document successfully.
Explanation
The Word document contains one or more section breaks which are not preceded by a paragraph end mark. Section breaks without paragraph end marks are not supported by the Word-TRADOStag (TTX) filter provided by TagEditor.
Resolution
1. Open your document in Word. Make all hidden characters visible so that you can see the section breaks and paragraph marks in the document.
2. Search for section breaks in the document: Select Edit/Replace, click on the More button, place the cursor in the Find what box, and type '^b' (without the quotes).
3. Place the cursor in the Replace with box, click Special and select Find What Text; position the cursor in front of the ^& that gets inserted, and type in ^p so that the Replace with box looks like this: ^p^&
4. Click Replace All, click OK, click Close, then save and close the file.
When the file is now processed in SDL TagEditor or SDL TeamWorks, there will then be no problem saving the target file.

I still have the same problem: "Error while writing breaks"... I replaced all breaks as suggested, opened Trados, tried to "Save target as" and still pops up that sign... I'm running out of answers/solutions to solve this. Could you please help me out?
