Hello all!
I'm using Wf 4.30 on Windows 2000, Word 2000 and I'm having some trouble with starting new translation sessions - Wf never opens the segment in which I place the cursor. It always opens (that is, re-opens an already translated segment)somewhere ABOVE. Really annoying! (hating it as I write ). I'm really getting sick and tired of forcing segments. Please advise.

And another thing - how do I get Wf to automatically capitalize the first letter of sentences? The autocorrect option in Word is checked...
TIA,

| Try force segment | Nov 4, 2005 |
Highlight the whole segment and press ctrl+alt+down. That usually works.

Thank you, Heinrich, that's what I've been doing... However, this is not normal, is it? It should open the segment in which I place the cursor, right? I thought I was missing something important.

| It's rather normal for Wordfast, I'm afraid | Nov 7, 2005 |
After all, the performance of Wf has improved a lot over the years, and it's so much cheaper than Trados, so I do not take these minor annoyances too seriously. After all its only one person programming it, not a whole team, and there are weeknesses in the code, but amazing what can be done in less than 2 Mb!
You can ask Yves directly at the Wordfast news group.

Hi Valentin,
Why don't you install version 5.1? The update is free and it solves a lot of bugs from previous versions. You can download it at www.wordfast.net
I use it and I can open exactly the segment on which I place the cursor.
Let me know if it works.

I don't know if you manage to solve this problem.
I have just discovered how to do that
You have to put your cursor BEFORE the first delimiter of the segment and not inside the segment.
WF will open it.
I was really annoying to me, too.
Succes.
