....

Some CAT tools offer an HTML preview, others a PDF or Ms Word preview–and one CAT tool offers a WYSIWYG preview in the translation editors.

I'll add some comments later. [/quote]

I've been looking at this lately in the overview, first step videos I made. Like you I found most CAT use HTML preview besides generating a preview target file on demand (or pdf). You mention "ne CAT tool offers a WYSIWYG preview in the translation editors." Which one is it? One I know that can do WYSIWYG besides HTML and pdf is Wordfast Pro (does it for docx, xlsx and pptx sources).

The DB link you provided is a bit hard to navigate. If you ever get the chance, could you make sub-folders?

Thanks for this useful infromation!!!! :)
