Tagwipe - Technical info
Why TagWipe ?
TagWipe has a double function:
-
Suppress useless tags. Microsoft word documents are often (=always) polluted with extra features that may look interesting from the editor's point of view, but are useless and annoying when it comes to producing a the translation.
Attributes like language, revision history and a lot others ones introduce useless tags when the original document is opened in a Computer Aided Translation (CAT) tool. TagWipe tries to suppress them keeping the essential in-line formatting like bold, italic, underline…
- Correct malformed footnote references, nonbreaking and soft hyphens.
Furtheremore, a complementary tool "TagWipeCompare" automates the comparison of original and wiped document with Winword 2010.
Prerequisites
- Perl 32 or 64 bit version.
Windows version uses Strawberry Perl - 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) 32 or 64 bit version for Windows;
or zip and unzip for Unix
The simplest way, is just to unzip the full portable package tagwipe_windows.zip. If you want to do a manual installation see here.

This is unclear. What do you mean? Where can I find this "complementary tool" and what does it do?
Can I compare two documents and re-insert missing formatting that was removed?
Please, explain.
