Topic: How to change segmentation and then return previous version?

Post title: No way
There is no way for that because of different syntax in different languages. "Whatever manager" translates into Russian as "Manager in whatever". You just can't join two words, translate them in a reverse order and then split again. It won't work this way. Not to mention that merging segments creates extra paragraph marks. You will end up with even more formatting issues once you are done with translation.
You have to prepare the file before you import it into your CAT tool. memoQ can split and join segments automatically based on previous translations. But it won't unsplit or unjoin them later.
