Most helpful review	Very good tool, user-friendly, Trados-compatible, recommended By Natalie user-friendly, Trados-compatible, recommended 4 out of 5 found this review helpful. Read more reviews →	Easy to learn By Selcuk Akyuz None of the CAT tools are excellent but some of them are very good, DVX2 is one of them. Easy to install, easy to create a project, translation memory or termbase. Most functions are intuitive, possibly one can start translation right after installing it without reading the pdf help file even partially. 21 out of 22 found this review helpful.

Product description	MetaTexis is not a stand-alone-program. It runs in Microsoft Word®. This means that all MetaTexis functions can be accessed through Microsoft Word®. Nevertheless, MetaTexis is very powerful and offers many functions and options you will not find in any other CAT tool. The great advantage of the integration in Word is that you do not have to learn a completely new program. You only have to learn some new functions. At the same time, all functions of Microsoft Word® are available. Technically, MetaTexis integrates itself into Microsoft Word® as a COM-Add-in (file "MetaTexis.DLL", located in the MetaTexis program folder). As MetaTexis is a COM-Add-in, it has a shorter start-up time, and many functions perform faster than in the case of normal add-ins. (Note: The COM-Add-ins technique was introduced with Microsoft Office 2000®. For this reason, MetaTexis is not available for Microsoft Office 97®.) Besides the COM-Add-in, there is also a normal add-in ("MetaTexis.dot", also located in the MetaTexis program folder). This add-in is the interface between Microsoft Word® and the MetaTexis COM-Add-in.	DVX2 Professional combines Intelligent Quality technology with customizable productivity and quality assurance.
