Another thing you could do is to open the text in MS Word and do a Find/Replace All using wildcards for all text between square brackets - the search string is \[*\] . Leave the target textbox blank but set it to "Hidden" (Format > Font > check Hidden). Save the document and import it into memoQ. The text between square brackets will appear as a tag. After finishing the job, open it in Word, click Show hidden text (¶) and use Find/Replace to replace all hidden text with unhidden text. You could also just Select All (Ctrl + A) and use Font > clear Hidden format checkbox.
I do this frequently because I find Word's Find/Replace wildcards much easier to use than RegEx. Might be just a personal preference.
