Heap size? Nov 11, 2015

If by "bottom right things" you mean the little box on the status bar that reads something like "73M of 97M", it’s the heap size, a Java thing. It usually has an impact when dealing with very large files. If the default value is not sufficient, you can increase the heap size via Edit > Preferences > Memory Preferences.

If what you mean is not the heap size, then give a more accurate description of the "bottom right things", which is pretty vague.

Yes it is these boxes and i was trying to figure out a way of character count in there just like trados.

Thank you for the clarification.

The new Wordfast Pro 4 uses the status bar to display character counts for the active segment (source segment = SC, target segment = TC):



For an overview of Wordfast Pro 4, see my First steps with... video.

Wordfast Pro 3 doesn’t display that info.
