Using previously translated documents for TM

 Hi all,

Please bear with me since I am brand new to Trados. As such, I have been translating "manually" for quite a few years, and would like to use some of the translations and sources which I have to create translation memories. I understand that I can use align - but don't quite understand how to do it. Can somebody please walk me through or refer to "idiot proof" help/tutorial? I usually receive the source in MS Word or PDF and translate into word, of course.

Thank you.
