Is there any way to incorporate whole, past-translated documents (Word in particular) into the TM? I have a 200-page annual report to translate each year, with maybe 30% repetition. I would like to feed the beast with full documents rather than copy-pasting them line by line. Better still, is there any way of loading the whole report (an inDesign file) and its English translation? (I hear you, it's not Christmas yet...)

Hello,
Yes, you can incorporate whole, past-translated documents into the Translation Memory (TM) in Trados Studio. Here are the steps to do so:
Step 1: Open Trados Studio and create a new project or open an existing one.
Step 2: Add the source document and its corresponding translated document to the project.
Step 3: Run the alignment tool. This tool will match the segments in the source document with their corresponding translations in the translated document.
Step 4: Review the alignment results and make any necessary adjustments.
Step 5: Save the alignment results to a TM. This will add the aligned segments to the TM.
As for your question about loading an InDesign file and its English translation, you can do this as well. Trados Studio supports InDesign files. You would follow the same steps as above, but instead of Word documents, you would use the InDesign files.
Please note that the quality of the alignment results depends on the formatting and layout of the documents. If the documents are not well formatted or if the layout is complex, the alignment tool may not be able to match all segments correctly. In such cases, manual adjustments may be necessary.
