I have installed Wordfast into my Japanese Word2000 and have no trouble at all at this stage. There is usually a toolbar which mostly looks like Trados and when I try translating using Wordfast, the interface is pretty much similar to Trados as well. Meanwhile, the most crucial point I\'m confronting is to confirm whether Wordfast can be truly all compatible with Trados in interchangeable memory creation and management, tagging, 100% or fuzzy matches, etc.

In this respect, could anyone advise us based on your own experiences with using Wordfast? I think it should be definitely a valuable information for every potential user of the tool.

Feedback is appreciated.
And yes, Wordfast is a great piece of software!

I guess your problem is that you put wordfast in the wrong folder. It\'s Word\'s start up folder. Not office. Open Word, go to tools, options, select the tab \"file locations\", click on \"start up\" and on \"modify\". Note down the path of your start up folder, close Word, and copy wordfast in there.
When you reopen Word, it will display a new tool bar, with just one icon. If not, right click on the toolbar and activate the wordfast toolbar. ▲ Collapse

Hello,
I found this program easy to install and use, but now I am having problems with documents I previously created that have form fields for easy tabbing. When I open these docs now, the fields have the words \"Form Text\" in them and I cannot tab from field to field. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Please let me know if you have a solution. Thank

Please go in tools/options and uncheck \"field codes\". Chances are that will be the end of that, unless I don\'t understand your problem right.

I, too, liked the free aspect, but Wordfast crashed my computer too many times for my taste and once I had to start over the whole deal.
What is your set up? I am one amongst others to use Wordfast since over a year now. 0 windows crashes due to wordfast.

I have only tried it out but it seems like a really amazing piece of software bearing in mind that it is free. I should make translating a lot faster.
Oops, Wordfast now costs 180 euros. Bit out of reach of the non pro.
I might try omegaT but I have failed to install/use java software in the past.
