Hello Igor,
How can I lock empty segments in an Excel project?
I tried to use QA Empty segments / filtering on \A\z (checkbox 'Reg.ex.' selected). All empty target segments are selected, but locking / replacing with a placeholder like '¤' doesn't work.
It is an Excel project that I have to proofread. I don't want empty cells in the Dutch column to get populated.
Thank you for detailled instructions!
Hans

Please try the following:
1. QA > Empty segments. 2. Task > Lock segments (on the filtered empty segments). 3. Turn off the QA filter.

Thanks for your confirmation.
It was a big table, so CafeTran Espresso was slow with assigning the Locked status. LO Calc caused further slowdown – I should have been more patient.
