I've had this issue each time I used WF to translate that type of source document, which has a source column on the left and a target column on the right - and the client wants both fields in final document. It seems that WF does not want to translate directly in the target column on the right, so I guess for this type of document I shouldn't use a CAT tool, no matter how repetitive, and translate directly on the source Word document on the right column.

If you were supplied with a two-column table with source texts in the left-hand side column and an empty column for the translations on the right-hand side column, you should proceed as follows: 1) duplicate the source texts in the right-hand side column, 2) format texts on the left as hidden, 3) import in Wordfast (only non-hidden texts on the right should be imported), 4) translate in Wordfast, 5) export the translated file, 6) unhide the texts on the left in Word.
