Dear all:

 I am new to Trados and have read all the workbooks, done the samples and taken the exam... thought I understood the basics until I purchased the software and of course have no TM whatsoever unlike the lovely sample TM that came for practice!!! I am trying to use the software and create my own TM slowly as I go but despite confirmations of each segment as I translate as I go along repeated phrases and texts do not appear as matches , fuzzy or otherwise and there is no auto propagation! When I do a concordance search the TM seems to recognize straight away that matches exists but does not offer anything up. I am therefore translating each line anew and the software is really of no help to me at all. Please tell me its just a case of my settings? I have played with the options box etc etc.

Thanks

Nina
