NUMBER OF SEGMENTS (TU) IN A TM

Question

When I open a TM from the Translation memory panel I can only see a few segments. How can I view the whole TM? How can I find out how many segments the TM is made up of? I was told I could move one page forward or backward page by clicking on the blue arrows in the toolbar on the top. However, I still cannot see all the pages that make up a TM. I can see a blue bar on top of the "list" of TU, and there are two arrows on the right side but they seem to be grayed out, and nothing happens when I click on them. In the "list" of TU I got there are some numbers missing (I got 2, 6, 7, 9, 11, 15 and so on). Any idea of why this is happening?

Hi, 
 To see how many segments are in your TM you can right-click on it in the TM maintenance view and then click on settings: 
 
 You'll see the number of TUs here: 
 
 To navigate through the pages of a TM you do use these arrows: 
 
 If they are all greyed then perhaps the number of TUs in the TM you are looking at has less than the number you have setup per page? 
 
 I think the two arrows you refer to on the right are the ones for switching between multiple TMs that you have open?

The grey arrows are for moving the tabs of opened TMs in the window, if you open so many, that not all TM tabs are visible. 
 When you have just two or three TMs open, the grey arrows have no function.

Hi, 
 In this case it's probably the result of you confirming a segment and overwriting the previous translation. This will also have the effect of moving the numbering on. You can test this easily if you create an empty TM, open a document with only one word in it, then copy source to target and confirm. This will add the single TU as #1 in your TM. Now change the target and confirm again and you will see the number in the TM will now be #2 (if you refresh the view first). 
 It's nothing to worry about, just how Studio is keeping a record of the "transactions" you are making.
