I have the impression that when I run an analysis (with the appropriate TM enabled) WFC only examines the repetitions etc. inside the document being analysed. It doesn't seem to be checking against the TM. Am I right? [/quote]

No, I regularly run analyses using WFC against an active TM, and the TM most certainly is taken into account.

If there is no TM, then only repetitions are indicated (the other rows are all zeros). If there is a TM, and there are matches, then the lines for 100% and other percentages also have numbers in them.

Try this: translate one segment in that document (so that the translation is added to the TM), and then remove the segment again (Alt+Delete), and rerun the analysis. It should now have at least one 100% match in the analysis.

What WFC does not do, is calculate internal fuzzy matches. WFP can do that (even if you don't have a licence for it).
