This is in the middle of a Word doc translation from France talking about fashion design software and seems to be some kind of code since it's in curly brackets. I have translated the rest of the sentence, but I'm not sure what it refers to. This is the sentence:
Sélectionner le 1er échantillon coloris > Click gauche {XE "magnétisme"} {XE "symétrie} sur l'echantillon.
In the TM for this translation, "magnétisme" is translated either as "snap to" or "gravity" but it's never used in this way. It seems like "snap to" would work better in this context, but I'd like to understand what the XE and the brackets mean.
Any help would be much appreciated.

don't translate XE
{XE "xxxxx"} is a MS Word indexing command, and it's the same in English and French so I wouldn't translate it
see in French :
"{ XE "Texte" [Commutateurs ] }

"The XE Field
The basic XE field in Microsoft word looks like this. To see them, make hidden text visible.

Comment: "Thank you. I made a note to my client about it that I hadn't translated the index entry and that was fine."
