I could edit the Excel file, but I wanted to edit in Wordfast as I wanted to check against the glossary I have for that client.
I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "reupload under tools".

The files are not meant to be edited using Wordfast.
If you want to do this, add the aligned TXT TM file as a TM in Wordfast.
Also select the proper client TM (so you can commit corrected segments to it).
Open the source file, translate it using the aligned TM and committing to the final TM.
What I mean by "reupload under Tools" is if you edit the Excel file in Excel. Once finished, in WFAA, there is a section called Tools. Upload the edited Excel file and it will create a new, edited TM for you.
Kind regards,
John
