Alex, try this: You might slightly change your orignal text by replacing one or three words. Then run it under Trados again & you will experience what TM can do to you (in a positive and negative way, though). ▲ Collapse

yes, but no... Sep 14, 2010

Thank you, the only thing is that I don't find these websites very helpful... I mean, I never find the answers that I'm looking for! Trados is really not user-friendly and I am very confused, so I'm looking for a step-by-step guide... another one!

There are also plenty of training courses you could attend. What exactly do you want to know about and then perhaps I could point you in the right direction?
