Taking advantage of a forum on WF placeables (and the fact that Dominique who's saved my life a couple of times is around), how can I get my WF 6.07 to include the "%" sign with numbers?
It highlights only the number but not the sign - wasn't the case with the previous version I had.

Yes, it's indeed what happens:
You can still grab 15.5% the "old-fashioned" way, ie. with Ctrl+Alt+right/left arrow.

Actually, most of the PB commands related to placeables have been deprecated in Wordfast Classic 6.07 and newer. In version 6.10, there is some room for configuration in the AS tab:
This can be handy if you have German as your source language, for instance, and you don't want all ordinary nouns (which are capitalized in German) to be considered as placeables. If so, just delete "Case" from the list.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to tweak the AS tab's placeable settings so as to have numbers followed by the percentage sign considered as placeables. I've just asked (on the WFC beta list) whether that could be possible in a future version.
