Yes, I saw that (I never spend any time on the AS tab, so it was a surprise). For now, it appears that the PB command overrides that setting. Am I right?

This only changes the match value but then WFC still consults the BTM first.
What drives me up the wall is if a BTM match keeps popping up over and over (even penalised, even if the BTM is second), and the only way to stop it from doing that is to copy the segment (including delimiters) into a new MS Word window and "clean" it so that the segment is added to the active TM. Only then does the BTM keep quiet on that segment.
