Is there any way around?

Clean up source file Dec 15, 2016

If it's a docx file, you probably need to clean up the source file first and remove extraneous line breaks, etc., before importing.

Thank you for the reply.

If there is no way to do this in MemoQ, it's OK, but this editing isn't in any way different from the post-translation review of the target DOC file.
