I've set Pandora's box to Different case = 99, but is there anyway to make Wordfast automatically *match* the case in the translation? I translate a lot of very similar contracts where the only difference between a given segment is the use of words in caps or small letters. It would save me a lot of time if Wordfast would just match the original instead of making me do it manually every time.

I recorded a macro for that. My TM contains TUs in all uppercase, but sometimes I get segments in new texts in sentence case. So I recorded a macro that responds to Alt+Num5 to change the uppercase into sentence case. Very useful and not complicated.

So basically the answer is no

I'll have to go to the macro-writing session at the next Proz conference...

Isn't this function already included in Word? (Shift+F3)
