After the evaluation period WordFisher switches to demo mode (wfReplace, wfReplaceInProject and Aligner disabled). However, most functions remain usable indefinitely.

Fixed. * Screen alignment has scrollbar display problems in Word 2000 and XP. Fixed. * Other bug fixes. Changes in version 4.44c [2002-02-28] ------------------------------------- * wfNextSegment renamed as wfNextSentence in order to avoid a macro name conflict with WordFast. Changes in version 4.44b [2002-02-03] ------------------------------------- * Started in demo mode after 2002/01/01. Fixed. Changes in version 4.44a [2001-06-15] ------------------------------------- * Third party programs can be activated in wfFind using any unique string in the title line for definition (dtSearch 6.x required this change). * A new Clear button has been added to wfBuffer1. * Bug fixes. Changes in version 4.43b [2001-03-21] ------------------------------------- * The Replace/Pretranslate modules count the number of replaced characters.

Changes in version 4.43 [2001-02-19] ------------------------------------ * A Pretranslate button added to wfReplace in order to make the the traditional wfReplace function usable even if a project is open. * wfProject did not save all files when a project was closed.

Changes in version 4.42 [2001-02-08] ------------------------------------ * Now all WordFisher macros can be interrupted by pressing Esc (Word 6/7) or Ctrl+Break (Word 8/9). * Setup again includes some Word settings (in case WF was interrupted). * SRC/TRG/FND/INI extensions are changed to SRD/TRD/FNH/WF to prevent Windows ME from messing with project files when doing a system recovery. The install macro updates the extensions automatically. * Settings for Toggle WF toolbars removed, WF saves the last state. * Glossary Builder setup moved to Glossary Tools. * Activate program list setup moved to wfFind. * The S icon starts the former File Groups Management (renamed as wfSetup). The former wfSetup is available as Options in wfSetup. * wfReplaceInProject icon removed. If a project is open, it can be started by clicking on wfReplace.
