Dear colleagues,

 

I’m having a problem with exporting a FLEx project to a document. I export the full lexicon from FLEx to Lexique Pro with LIFT 0.13 XML, and it looks fine on the screen. But when I try to export it from Lexique Pro to a MS Word document, it chugs along for several minutes and stalls, and the program freezes. I had no problem with earlier versions of the lexicon, but the current version is larger (4000 entries with 900 photos). It does work with smaller, filtered lexicons of the current version (i.e. a few letters of the alphabet rather than the full lexicon), so I thought it was a matter of size and drastically reduced the size of all the photos. However, it still doesn’t work for the full lexicon, even though the cumulative size of the photos is less than half of what it was in the earlier versions that did work. I’ve also tried to use Pathway to export it from FLEx to an Open/Libra Office document, but it also chugs along for quite a while until a message flashes that Open/Libra Office is not responding and a window comes up: How do you want to open this file? (i.e. an .odm film that has been created rather than a document in Open/Libra Office).

 

I’ve spent the last 2 weeks trying to find a solution, so I’d be grateful for any suggestions!

 

Regards,

Jeff

Recently I solved problems with the Pathway Export by updating my Windows 10 to the newest version. This may also be your problem, but of course there may be other factors in your case.
