Hi Hayley, I use Trados Studio but not frequently. Most jobs are either could not be done in Trados (i.e. they're images or the like) or are not required by the client to be done by a CAT tool.

I usually send both formats to a customer just in case the receiving PC or laptop's settings have compatibility complications. Hope this helps. Khudaa Haafez... Regards, Stephen H.
