Excel problems
Benjamin Barrett
One other problem I'm having is adding glossary entries. When I try to add a term, Excel jumps to a different cell and pastes the previous cell contents into that other cell.
I'm using version 1.6.7.2.

First, sorry about missing your posts to the forums. The RSS feed seems to
be broken, and so I didn't see them. I'll be responding to your posts
shortly.

Could you let me know the process you use to add the entries?
How are you entering the source and translation, and what keyboard shortcut
or toolbar/menu command are you using?

I select a word in the Japanese source (within the cell, not in the formula bar at top) and select "add glossary" from the Felix menu. The cursor skips down about four or five cells. Similar behavior occurs if I'm not "in" the cell, but just have it selected and the select "add glossary" from the Felix menu.
I'm using Excel 2007 on XP Pro.

The "Add glossary" feature is for adding entire glossaries, in
source/translation format.
Here is the manual entry describing this feature:

There isn't a feature for adding a single entry to the glossary from Excel,
but it sounds like a good idea.
For now, you could register the term as a translation, and then click "Add
to Glossary" in the Felix memory window.

Thank you for the quick response again.
FWIW I did check the manual before posting. The manual has "register a glossary" while the Excel command is "add glossary." I was thinking "add glossary" is the same thing as "add to glossary" in Word. I can see registering a glossary would be useful; so far, I've pasted into Notepad and opened from Felix. But being add while editing in the cell would really be nice, though I don't know if Excel allows that sort of versatility.
One other problem I'm having is that if I hit Alt + Down by mistake (such as instead of Alt + L), I cannot recover. Having some sort of undo function would be nice.
