I have version 6.13 of Wordfast Classic. I completed a job for an agency using a Wordfast TM. The agency has subsequently made changes to the file using the 'Track Changes' function in MS Word and is now asking me to update the TM to reflect these subsequent changes and send them a copy of the updated TM. Can anyone clarify whether it is actually possible for me to do this with WF Classic? Many thanks. [/quote]
I've often wondered how to get back to a bilingual view of a translated text, once I've cleaned it. Wf gives me a file with an extension of BAK, which doesn't seem to have any use at all as far as I can see. I don't even know how to open them.
However the TM itself if just a .TXT file, so you can go in and edit that just by opening it with Wordpad or whatever. Most recent TUs will be at the bottom. You can also bring up Wf in an empty Word screen and call up the text editor.
