Yes Gerard, thanks, that was the software I was talking about, but I thought it only worked with MS Word. Does it work with Trados Studio 2009?
BTW, I have to say I never managed to make this software work perfectly. But it was several years ago and things may have changed since that time.
Am gonna check InteliWebSearch straight away!
Another question, if anyone knows of a good copy-paste system where you can store several terms and use function keys -or others- instead of ctrl+xcv. I am left handed and typing ctrl+X or ctrl+v is far from handy.
And... well any useful tip about copy-pasting is welcome here or by PM. Copy-pasting is without any doubt my main daily activity. :)) [/quote]
It works from anywhere in Windows 7 and earlier, I haven't tested it in Windows 8 yet. You don't have to use the IWS window for your searches. I myself have sacrificed almost all Alt+ shorcuts to search directly with IWS. Alt+G is Google, Alt+P is Google Immages, Alt+Y is YouTube, Alt+L is Leo, Alt+B is my old version of Babylon, Alt+F is the French dictionary on my hard drive etc. I select a term or any text I want to look up and use the shortcuts to get direct results. It's magic!
Success,
Gerard
