I am considering purchasing Translation Office 3000, but I would like to know if there is any way of saving or exporting the data.

Remember, that you can export your data from TO3000 into csv files, but you cannot modify those files and import them back into TO3000.

Just realized I did not thank you both for your helpful comments, erm, five months ago! Good to know I can download/transfer the data if necessary.
