Hello Janina,  

To create a Translation Memory (TM) from your bilingual Word document in Trados Studio, you can follow these steps:  

**Step 1:** Ensure your bilingual Word document is properly formatted, with clear source and target segments. If necessary, remove any images or complex formatting that might interfere with the alignment process.  

**Step 2:** Open Trados Studio and go to the "Align" feature. This allows you to align the source and target segments of your bilingual document.  

**Step 3:** Import your bilingual Word document into the alignment tool. You will need to manually align the segments if they are not automatically matched.  

**Step 4:** Once the alignment is complete, you can generate a set of Translation Units (TUs) from the aligned document.  

**Step 5:** Import these TUs into a new or existing TM. You can do this by going to the Translation Memories view, selecting your TM, and using the import function.  

**Step 6:** After importing, make sure to update your TM to include the newly created TUs.  

If you have any specific requirements or if your document is in a different format, please let me know, and I can provide more tailored guidance!
