PB command Apr 9, 2007

Hello Mihail,
This question has been asked several times on the Wordfast yahoo group. I recommend signing up and running a search through past messages when you have problems you can't resolve on your own with the manual: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Wordfast

Hello Mihail,
This question has been asked several times on the Wordfast yahoo group. I recommend signing up and running a search through past messages when you have problems you can't resolve on your own with the manual: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Wordfast

As to your problem...
There are three PB commands to fix it:
FirstKeyControl
First_KeyEscape
First_KeyShift
Activate the first one. If the problem persists, try the second and so on.

This is explained on page 52 of the manual:
With some versions of Ms-Word 2003 VBA, the very first character typed after a segment opens is "mute". Enable any of these commands (only one at a time), starting with the first one, to cure the problem. They simulate the press of a "mute" key to work around the problem.

Good luck!

First command in PB one solved the problem Apr 9, 2007

FirstKeyControl solved the issue.

Thank you for your support - I am in a hurry with translation... therefore I asked here.

Thank you once more!

Best regards,
Mihail
