Topic: Target document formatting must be different to the Source formatting.

Post title: Third variable to the problem.
I also should have mentioned this.
When you are supplied the source text, you are supplied with docs and pdf. I suppose the pdf probably serves as a reference document? Now sure why reference documents are used if word can process pretty much all formatting.
Anyway, the problem is that the docs and pdf are not always the same! One or the other could contain lines not present in the other document. It's very rare, but happens sometimes. The translator is required to translate both.
