Hello,

Hello,

I recently updated WF Classic to 6.03t on a Vista machine running MS Word 2007.

The pop-up lines that come with glossary suggestions (when there is more than one possibility) are now systematically displayed in a very narrow 1 letter wide paragraph, therefore vertically, instead of horizontally in a wide enough paragraph. Their style includes excessive indents that apparently cause this behavior (if I correct the style manually by suppressing the indents, the pop-up is displayed normally, on an horizontal line).

Any idea how to correct this corrupt style would be welcome! ▲ Collapse

Delete the style WfPopup Aug 16, 2012

You should have a style called WfPopup. Try to delete it. Wordfast will create a new one from scratch. The problem you experienced is often related to upgrading to 6.03t from a beta version. Have you used any version newer than 6.01g (prior to upgrading to 6.03t)?

It worked. Aug 20, 2012

Your solution seems to have worked, Dominique. Thanks for taking the time to post it.

My upgrade path is a bit complicated. I uploaded a trial version of the 6.03t, tried it, but did not see enough difference to warrant buying it, then could not return to my previous version, so ended up buying it (the latest).

Just in case: with Wordfast, you don't buy a given version and get locked into it. You are entitled to install and use the latest version available at any given time during the validity period (three years).
