I don't usually need to change the segmentation in my documents and normally just use the automatic segmentation.

Hi, You should find a bytton with the symbol "+" on the WF bar, that enables you to add one more sentence to the already segmented one. There is also a "-" button, that does the contrary, namely if you have in a segment 2 or more sentences, it de-segments one at a time.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the tip, although when I click on the + symbol nothing happens. Perhaps I need to highlight the next segment or something like that? I've already spent 15 minutes trying to solve this (the "Knowledgebase" is useless) and if it takes any longer I'll just have to carry on regardless, or translate the rest of the text without WF, which would be a shame.
