The result:

Repetition rates are wrong, much too high.

Is there any standard method to do it?

If not, is sth. like the following possible?
- Using a macro I change all rep rates in Word document to '0'
- Using a new, orginally empty TM-file, I check through the zeroed Word file and get the correct rep rates. ▲ Collapse

Dear Timo,

I don't understand your question. Are you talking about the analysis? This needs to be done on an unsegmented source file. Repetions will remain the same regardless of what is in your TM (versus 100% matches which are based on your TM). You can also analyze several files at once.

I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for. Please clarify your question.

Thanks,

John
