Hello,
After upgrading to Wordfast 5 my Word (Windows XP + Word XP) "refuses to cooperate" after closing a context search window. I have to kill the thread manually, restart Word, then Wordfast etc.
So far I haven't lost any work but in fact it is quite annoying.
Is there anyone who has similar problems ?
Thank you for any assistance

Careful: if you delete "Normal.dot" you may lose some of your custom settins in Word (such as your own macros, buttons, toolbars, ... See more The Wordfast manual has some tips in the Trouble-shooting section. I recommend deleting "Normal.dot" file (or, better, renaming it to "Normal.old").

If terminating "Normal.dot" does not help, you can delete the new "Normal.dot" and rename "Normal.old" back to "Normal.dot" if you want to restore your previous custom settings.

This is rather serious, and if I were you I'd post the problem on the Yahoogroup where the creator of WF is lurking.
