Use the various options to control the behavior of memoQ.

· Warn when confirming segments with identical source and target check box: If this is check box is checked, memoQ displays a warning message each time you attempt to confirm a segment where the target text is identical to the source text. This prevents you from overlooking segments where the source text was accidentally copied to the target cell. The check box is not checked by default.
· No warning if only formatting tags differ check box: If this is checked, memoQ does not display a warning message if the source and the target text is identical but the formatting tags or the inline tags are different. The check box is not checked by default.
· Only warn if segment contains at least one content word check box: If this is checked, memoQ does not display a warning message if the source text contains numbers and/or punctuation marks only. It is quite natural to copy such segments to the target cell. The check box is checked by default.
· Append space to inserted terms check box: If this check box is checked, memoQ writes a space at the end of any term you insert into the target cell from the Translation results list. This check box is not checked by default.
· Show highlights check box: If this check box is checked, memoQ highlights those terms and auto-translatable elements in the source text that are listed in the Translation results pane. This check box is checked by default.
· Filter and limit translation memory and corpus hits check box: If this check box is checked, memoQ omits identical translation memory and corpus matches from the Translation results list, and also limits the number of matches in the list. This check box is turned on by default.
· Maximum number of translation memory and corpus hits shown spin box: This box contains the limit to the number of translation memory and corpus hits that appear on the Translation results list. The default value is 5.
· Show corpus hits without a translation check box: If this check box is checked, memoQ lists those hits from LiveDocs corpora that contain no translation (for example, they come from a monolingual document in the corpus). This check box is checked by default.
· Longest source term hides shorter matches check box: If the term bases in the project contain more than one terms for the same part of the source text, and one term is longer than another, memoQ will display only the longer one on the Translation results list. This check box is checked by default.

Using the two radio buttons under Display order of term base hits, you can control how memoQ sorts the terms in the Translation
results
list:

· Order of appearance in text: memoQ lists the terms as they appear in the source text. This is the default.
· Alphabetical: memoQ lists the terms in alphabetical order of the source terms.
· Enable preview for translations check box: If this check box is checked, memoQ creates a preview for every supported document when it imports the document. If the check box is not checked, memoQ does not create the preview. This setting does not affect documents that are already imported, or documents that come from a different copy of memoQ. This check box is checked by default.

Default TM scheme tab

MemoQ options miscellaneous tmscheme Options   Miscellaneous

This tab lists the custom fields that are used in every  new translation memory that is created on your computer. The changes you make here will not affect existing translation memories.

The following options are available:

· Add: Click this link to add a new custom field to the default TM scheme. The Custom field properties dialog appears where you can specify the name and the type of the new custom field. If you choose Picklist (single) or Picklist (multiple) for the type, you also need to list the possible values for the field.
· Edit: Click this link to change the type of the selected custom field. You cannot change the name. When you click Edit, the Custom field properties dialog appears where the Name box is greyed out. You can change the type, and in the case of Picklist (single) and Picklist (multiple), you can also change the list of possible values.
· Remove: Click this link to remove the selected custom field from the list.
· Export scheme to XML: Click this link to export the list of custom fields in an XML file that can be used when creating new translation memories, both on this computer and on other computers running memoQ.
· Import scheme from XML: Click this link to populate the list of custom fields that were saved to an XML file earlier from another copy of memoQ.
