Topic: Can Wf Classic show TM match differences using text formatting (red/blue/strikethrough, etc.)?

Post title: Yellow highlights
WfC DOES show differences between source text and matches. The differences are highlighted in yellow on the match SOURCE text. Indeed, only missing or different text is highlighted.
Red border means that the target text is different from the existing TM target unit when the source text is different. IOW, a red border means that the target has been modified without the segment being entered into the TM, which is usually the case when target text is edited without opening the segment.

Just a quick question from a newbie playing around with Wordfast Classic: are differences between my source text and fuzzy matches not shown in some way. Most CAT tools have special formatting to show stuff like:
red font / strikethrough = text not present / deleted text
blue font = added
green = changed
etc.
Is there any way to do this in Wf Classic?

Aha, found it: Ctrl+Alt+M
It's not great, but at least it's sth.
