Xbench seems quite good at finding fuzzy/new strings in xliff files.  
But is it possible to export all such strings from a xliff file in a subset for review/external spell checking?

In Xbench 3.0, you can check spelling in a variety of languages. To install a dictionary, go to **Tools \> Spell Checking Dictionaries**. Select the language and click **Install**.

To spell check only new and fuzzy segments, go to the QA tab.

1. At the **Spell-Checking** Check Group, select your language.
2. At the QA toolbar, select **Only New Segments** , **Exclude ICE Segments** and **Exclude Locked Segments** at the **Options** section.
3. Click **Check Ongoing Translation.**

To check grammar or text in a language not available at Tools \> Spell Checking Dictionaries, do the following:

1. Go to **Tools \> Export Ongoing Translation to MS Word**.
2. At the Filtering select **Only New Segments** , **Exclude ICE Segments** and **Exclude Locked Segments** and press Ok.
3. In Word, select the target column and apply the language.

To fix an offending issue, select the text in Word and press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to search in Xbench. Then, select the segment at the search results list and press Ctrl+E to edit segment.

Thanks, but what I would like to do is to export the fuzzy/new segments and spell-check them in Word.

The reason for this is I am getting lots of small files in XTM where only a small part is new. It is not possible to create a single file from these snippets of translation, and Studio does not make the difference between new and fuzzies from the exported xliff files…

You can export only new/fuzzy segments following these steps. However, please note that the Xbench spell checker uses also the Word spell checker.
