Hi! I was wondering if there is a way to add Excel files as glossaries. So far, Xbench “considers” them to be .txt files, but it never loads the terms (from what I can see in Details). Thanks! Rocío ---

Xbench does not currently support Excel Files. Save the Excel files as Unicode text (\*.txt) and add that file to your Xbench project. ---

If you update to the latest build (1442), Xbench supports **.xlsx** glossaries as tab-delimited text files. 1st column is considered as source and 2nd column as target. **XLS** files are not supported.
