Dear Friends,
I translate from German to English and have been happily using WFC (with the odd problem now and then) for many years.

Recently I've been having the issue that alt+ page down shortcut to expand a segment is no longer working. When I try to use it this appears at the end of the segment I wanted to expand:

Try Alt+Enter Jun 1, 2022

Michael, recent MS Word versions have a new spellcheck-related feature that uses Alt+Down. Thus, when the cursor is in a place with a MS Word spellcheck warning, Alt+Down triggers this new Word feature rather than the expected Wordfast action. This is why Alt+Down now has a “synonym” in Wordfast Classic: you can also use Alt+Enter to make Wordfast Classic move to the next segment. I hope this will help you.
