Many thanks again,

Thanks, Gerard.

Andy, actually, I would recommend you start with the intro, at www.your-translations.com/cat-wordfast.htm if you are beginning to use CAT tools, then move on to the other pages. That should get you well on your way. Let me know if some stuff are unclear or missing.

Cheers,
Sylver
