Thanks Grzegorz and István for your replies and apologies for my delayed response.

I think I've worked something out, which perhaps was obvious. Even though the document pretranslate was using my old draft translation, the alternative translation from the exported alignment was appearing in the right-hand column.

When I right clicked on that to get Options, the "TM and Corpus match overwrites target" box was checked. I unchecked that box, cleared the existing translations from my box, did the pre-translate again and it seems to have preferred the exported aligned versions. So it was effectively as you said, István, the exported alignments were being 'penalised' and it was a matter of fixing that.

Grzegorz, I am interested in this feature in the later MemoQ versions and I'll look into that and maybe update/upgrade.

Thanks again to both of you.

Melissa
