I am translating a pre-translated text using SDL Trados 2007. I know I can use the key combination ctrl alt + in order to open the next no 100% sentence, I've tried to use it but it doesn'work..When I push ctrl alt + I simply go to the next sentence (like with the key combination ctrl +). Any suggestion?

Concordance Mar 2, 2011

This could be due to the Concordance window being open. It doesn't seem to make sense, but it is a common cause of that.

alternative shortcuts Mar 2, 2011

Ctr+Alt+N to go to the next segment

Ctr+Alt+Z to translate to fuzzy.

I had the same problem when I upgraded from MS Office 2003 to MS Office 2007. I now use Office 2007 + Trados 2007 and use the shortcuts above.

better explanation Mar 2, 2011

I'm afraid I didn't describe my problem very well ...The other shortcut keys (alt +, alt *, alt end, alt ins, alt del, etcetera) all work. I would like to skip all 100% matches and go directly to the next segment which is a fuzzy match or a no match. With another computer I used to push "ctrl alt +" to do that (this is only possible when a text has been pre-translated), but with my new computer it doesn't work. May the problem be caused by the new operating system (Windows 7)? II can't find any ... See more

Alternative to Ctrl Alt + Mar 7, 2011

I also was facing the same problem, but not on a notebook. A way to shunt it, avoiding to use the mouse, is using another key combination with the menu shortcuts:

Alt B (then, release Alt key and press...) 0 (that is zero)
