Thanks to your help, I think I'm up an running again, although I'm not anxious to do any real translation work unitl next month if I can help it. I still have to get to grips with Word 2016's Track Changes functionalities, and get all the other pro software onto my computer: PerfectIt, EScribe, ABBYY, etc. I haven't even sorted out my paid-for anti-virus software yet so lots still to do.
It is a problem that I can't any longer use Wordfast Classic for Excel files, Neil, but I prefer to try to keep things fairly up-to-date nowadays. I once let other family members persuade me to keep our shared computer on Windows 95, using Works from way back when, until nothing at all could be transferred as none of our files were compatible with anything. Never again! I'd have loved to have stuck with XP, and I know some have, but I'm better off using 10. For that same reason, I downloaded the last-but-one release of Wf Classic, Samuel, rather than keeping what I had. The last one came out only a few days ago so that seemed a bit dodgy. I have however managed to copy across my .ini files, so that's saved a little work.
Thanks again.
