I have a document open in Word, and Workbench is running with the Trados TM I want to use. How can I automatically and quickly apply all of the translations in the TM to all of the segments in the document? I don't want to have to press Alt+Num+plus 500 times (once for each segment)!

Thanks in advance.

Translate to fuzzy seems an option (Alt + Num *).
