I just finished translating a fairly lengthy Excel file with Across.

Everything worked okay until I started the check-out wizard to save the document to the original format (I assume this is similar to Clean Up in Trados?). In the Export Progress of the Check-OUt Wizard the process did not take very long, it shows 100% complete, but the bottom line "Storing..." has been running for well over an hour and does not appear to finish.

Follow-up to my own question Jul 21, 2008

Hello everyone, just in case someone runs into the same issue, here is what happened:

This is not serious in itself, but the program will not continue until you confirm that this is okay or cancel.

This is not serious in itself, but the program will not continue until you confirm that this is okay or cancel.

The problem is that the Excel notice popped up behind the Across screen. Because the Across window was maximized, I did not see it at all (also did not appear on Windows taskbar below). What was annoying - Across does not allow you to change the screen size (smaller or minimize) while the check-out function is running, so even if you know something is there, you cannot access it. So the program was not slow, it was just waiting for my command... ▲ Collapse

Thanks for sharing it with us Jul 21, 2008

Hi Brigitte,

My guess was a macro in the excel file. Sometimes macro security levels cause such delays, until you notice it.

But this one needs reporting to Across. I remember a similar delay when installing Oxford English Dictionary, setup.exe asked for the second CD but the pop-up window was behind the main window.
