I'm going to be travelling and would like to use Wordfast Anywhere on my iPad. I've tried it out and it works but is a bit clunky especially as there is no "alt" key on the iPad. Does anyone know how I can simulate Alt+ Down please so that I can move more fluidly through the document?
Many thanks.

Hi,

If you get to it before you're travelling, I suggest you change your shortcuts to suit your use and test them before you go:
Go to Wordfast Anywhere Tab/Setup/shortcuts.
From there you can remove some keys or key combination from other functions to add them to the drop-down list to have more available. You can then assign those you want to use for the actions required.

To navigate between segments, you can also go to the view tab and select Show/hide outline. This will bring out a "ladder" with all documents' segments numbers (even across blocks). You can just tap it to open a segment (doesn't allow you to save your segment obviously).

Another option is to enable the segment toolbar (Wordfast Anywhere Tab/Setup/tick) that brings those buttons right above your current segment so you can tap them (if you have enough screen real-estate). You can also customize which buttons are available there and in which order (Wordfast Anywhere Tab/Setup/Pandora's box/16).

Hope this helps,

My bests

This was the option that worked on my iPad.
