Do you mean: the glossary drop-down box (which appears when there is more than one glossary entry for the term) does not appear when you press the keyboard shortcut for it? If so, then I'm afraid I've had similar problems with several versions of version 6x. Even with my most stable version it doesn't always work as expected. Highly annoying.
[quote]During translation (only when a segment is open) the colouring of markings in Word disappears (the selection function being there, but without visual control). This function is important for drag&drop or for selecting partial segments for translation. [/quote]
Are you referring to the dots that indicate where spaces are between words? If so, then you have to fiddle with the function in MS Word to show or hide hidden text. In Word 2003, it is Tools, Options, View, Hidden, and you have to combine it with pressing a shortcut (in Word 2003, it is Ctrl+comma).
