Keep only Standard, Formatting & Wordfast toolbars In most cases, the ruler is not essential, but takes up space, which is a problem on small screens. This feature is essential (but available only in normal view) to avoid scrolling horizontally every time a line is wider than the screen. However, turn this switch off (i.e., leave view mode unchanged) if page layout and design is a must. Normal view offers a much smoother scrolling, and a jumpy scrolling really damages eyesight and causes migraines. In all other cases (and even even with a fast machine and a big screen), normal view is still, by far, much more comfortable, especially when jumping from page to page, scrolling through long documents etc. It is better to occasionally use Page view for those rare documents where the page layout is of prime importance and falls in the translator's responsibility. Page view forces constant repagination, offers a hectic scrolling from page to page and quickly exhausts your system's resources.
#WIKIPEDIA WORDFAST CLASSIC PLUS#
If you have a high resolution (say SXGA, 1280x1024) and a 17" monitor, plus a fast machine, the Page view can be considered although it is not recommended. But then again, if you have to pay special attention to unbreakable spaces, for instance, you may need to switch this off (i.e., show spaces). Since segmentation requires to show all hidden characters, I found that not displaying spaces is quite a relief, because those little dots are really tiring.
You may have to adjust this parameter for other text sizes. Of course, this is based on a normal text sized 10 to 12. Wordfast will propose a zoom factor of 120 (for resolutions up to SVGA) and 140 for higher resolutions, for optimum visibility. Recommended at all times with Word 97, but then again, you may need to override this function if you have to use multiple documents. For higher resolutions (XGA, UXGA), you should decide what's best for your eyes, based on physical screen size (15, 16, 17 inches etc). It is recommended to zoom (maximise, or enlarge) the Ms-Word window for resolutions up to 800圆00 (i.e., VGA & SVGA).
