I am working on a project in Word with a number of text boxes with text inside. The internal text can be edited directly in Word, but I don't see it in MemoQ. I don't see any option in the "Import with options" dialogue that would allow text box content to be imported. How can I do this?

I'm not sure how to do this. But there are some macros on the web that can export and import textboxes. So if no-one can solve your problem, you could google for them.

See: https://www.proz.com/forum/wordfast_support/359185-werecat_download.html

@Samuel: David's link is dead. Could you perhaps create a download link for the copy that you have?

Here is a macro that only extracts the content of text boxes to a new document:

Default behavior Jul 23

Weirdly my memoQ imports text boxes by default.

I also downloaded a trial version of memoQ 11. It seems to import text boxes by default either. Is it possible that your text boxes are somehow blocked in the MS Word file rather than in memoQ?

I just checked and can confirm that. The only text box that wasn't imported, is a text box in a footnote.

Had to do them manually Jul 23

I finally had to do the text in the text boxes manually, it would not load into MemoQ. But it wouldn't load into Trados, either.

I wonder if they were not actually text boxes but some kind of shape.

You can always check by adding ".zip" to the name of the document and opening the zip file.
