Trados 2011: File writing error: Extra "" tag within the segment

Hi, I have a puzzling problem:

After translating a Word source file in Trados Studio 2011, both "Finalize" and "Save target as" fail (The file generation stops at 76%). 2 identical error messages appear: Extra "" tag within the segment (the segment is not identified).

The first error message shows Error origin: Sdl.FileTypeSupport.Filters.Word.Frameworklmpl.Generator.FileWriter
The second error message shows Error origin: Generate Target Translations.

Trados recommends running Tag Verification, but I could not find how to do it - neither the menu from Tools/Options nor the one from Projects/Project Settings seem to specifically list Tag verification...

Surprisingly, when I run Verify (F8) after closing the application and reopening the project, the errors do not show at all.

An interesting detail: An error message popped up for the first time after I cancelled a target preview process, which I must have triggered by accidental shortcut...

Can anyone suggest:
- how do I run the Tag verification?
- how can I extricate the target file?

Your help is much appreciated, the deadline is upon me...

Best regards and many thanks,

Jiri Lonsky
