What is wordfast in MS Office?

17 years ago

This morning Word wouldn't open and I got this message:

{{gwi:1505608}}

I did disable it and Word is running all right, but can anyone please tell me what function I might now be missing? Is this add-on something new? (I usually check Windows updates before allowing them to be installed, but I don't remember this one.)

I am one of those people who are always confused when they try to close Word and get told that they have changed Normal.dot and do they want to save it, and so on (I can't remember exactly how it goes now.). This message sends me into a flurry of furious clicking just trying to get the thing closed.

Wordfast is a comprehensive computer-assisted translation tool, made up of a set of macros that run in Microsoft Word, version 97 or higher. It is commercial software, but can be used unregistered for any length of time. Unregistered installations are limited to translation memories of 500 translation units, but there are no other limitations.

Wordfast is intended for professional translators. Some of its features include translation memory with fuzzy matching, a range of glossary functions, context and reference searching, the ability to handle tagged formats, and the ability to translate documents from the entire Microsoft Office suite.

Thanks, Zep. I guess I don't need it.

Al I assume you are talking about Word? Open Word, click View on the top toolbar then near the centre right below "View" you have the option to show one or 2 pages at a time. Try clicking the one page option, you should now see your pages one at a time. The other option is to click the round Start button in the top left corner, hover over Print in the drop down menu then click Print preview

MS office help

I have Office 07 and despise it. I have Office 03 on my office computer and will drive in to the office on weekends or at night to write a letter. I only use 07 if I know I won't have to make any changes or mistakes. Office 03 is basically the same old word processing from the early versions. They completely changed everything around in the 07 version. I had letters to write today and spent my Saturday in my office to do them. What I also do is compose letters on Google Docs (which is easy) and download them to Word. Sorry for my rant, but I just hate what Microsoft did to Office 07. BTW, this is how my screen appears on 07. For whatever reason it keeps double-spacing. I have it set to single but it keeps double spacing. I sooo hate this program! Sorry for the rant... Jane

How can I fix the MS Office Outlook eMail Rules
Q

I'm sorry I think this is user set up error here. After the creation of a message rule did you select the "Apply Now" button? Did you select all the "OK" buttons when exiting? I ask as I have been remiss in clicking all the necessary buttons when building a rule, and it has failed. In your frustration to get the message rule option to work, did you create multiple entries for the same rule? If so, remove all but one. In a last ditch effort you could remove all the message rules and start from the beginning. DA

MS Office 2007 for Home Office/Student
Q
Comments (4)
It includes Word, Powerpoint, Excel and something else I have never used, and forget what its call, it does not include Outlook. I just ordered MS Office Home Student for $124.99 free shipping form Amazon.com. Heck, and I just, with the help of friends on the web forums, managed to set Open Office as the default application for doc. ppt. and xls. I know my wife will be happy to have MS Office back on her machine, MS has really outdone itself (money mongers that they are) in making Office available for home use at a reasonable price, keeping in mind I can install it on both my and my wife's machine, plus another home machine, for the $125 price tag.
