As I tend to be a perfectionist about that I usually load the subtitle file I just created (SubRip !!) into Word to make use of the thesaurus to recover errors left behind by the usual "l"-to-"I" correction and the likes.
BTW, have you ever crosschecked different subtitle editors performing this task? Big "quality" differences!!
Anyway, mostly some errors are not discovered.
The issue here is that Windows' Word is unable to store the manually corrected .txt/.sub/.srt file afterwards without introducing new errors like randomly inserting blank lines/carriage returns or deleting some of them.
So converting one of these corrupted files to another format produces rubbish, and playback of that file is crappy as well.
So I have to do some extra work and let Subrip check .srt file which I use as standard format, for then it says "line xy is kaputt" which is then easy to spot inside the file. But it's definitely annoying when having a huge subtitle file.
Is there any work-around to make Word handle this?
Why does Word behave like this ?
