I have now tried all you suggested and the same two files continue to open when I press Alt + Down to begin translation. Are there any other possible reasons why this is happening? Am I doing the right thing when you say 'focus'? What I have done is to place the cursor in the file and execute the strings you advised, such as CTRL + ALT (hold both down at the same time) + M + M (in quick succesion).

I have no idea why this doesn't "stick". Maybe it's because you've messed with normal.dotm? After you have closed the unwanted window with Ctrl+Alt+M+M, open it again with the same shortcut, close it (with the shortcut) and exit from Word. The change should stick. If not, you may want to close Word, delete (or rename) normal.dotm and proceed as above one more time. To locate your normal.dotm, see this KB article. If you're still having a problem, log in to your personal account at wordfast.net and use the hotline contact form to open a case.
