MemoQ halts when clearing the translated file to its target format (docx, in my case) and says:
General error.
TYPE:
System.Exception

MESSAGE:
Unexpected character

SOURCE:
MemoQ.DocConverters.DOCX

And then:
Failed.
Document failed to export; it was skipped

Any ideas or suggestions how to fix this issue?

Are all tags in place? Aug 3, 2015

I know this is pretty obvious but... are you sure all tags are in place? You might want to use the RunQA function just in case. It will report any missing tags.

Indeed, there was a few of them Aug 3, 2015

Well, yes, with the help of an external QA tool I've found some missing bpd and epd tags in target (which weren't detected by MemoQ own QA tool) and fixed them. Still, 2 out of 3 files refuse to import with the same error.
