Dear Helena,

Transit offers a broad varity of options to display the text as you want. IMHO, Transit is the most flexible tool in this perspective: Of course you can freely adapt the window size, completely fill the screen with text, change font size, customize the display of paragraphs etc. At the end, you can make the Transit editor to look almost as Word. These options do not need expert knowlegde, but only a glance at the manuals and/or just playing around with different settings on the "View" tab. I am sorry to hear that you were annoyed for a couple of months instead.

If you do not like fuzzy matches, you do not need to show and to use them. That sounds strange to me, but if that is your way of working and applicable for your projects: No problem with Transit.

At the end: When you
- do not want to benefit from fuzzy matches or other CAT tool features
- prefer to work like writing on paper
- always recognise any paragraph ever translated
- are only working on a specific Word document
then - and only then - it might make not sense to invest in a CAT tool and learn how to use it.

Best regards,
