Simple workaround Jun 14, 2021

Accept all changes. Save document under new name. Compare old document and new document - create 3rd document with tracked changes; bonus you can rename the change owner to 'translator' or something generic if you client asks you to.

Remove Properties and Personal Information Jun 14, 2021

Hi Inez,
You asked about "Uploading an existing TM to Memsource". Did you see my suggestion? (Just to make sure that I don't send messages into outer space.)
If yes, try this:
1. Right click your MS Word file, select Properties.
2. Go to 'Details' tab.
3. Click 'Remove Properties and Personal Information'.
4. Select 'Remove the following properties from this file:'
5. Check the Comments checkbox.
6. Click OK.

Hi Arianna, thanks a lot, I'll try that! I just need to keep the original author's name "intact", so to speak, but I'm not sure if that is possible.
