  • To add a user translation, click on the Add new translation button (represented by a plus sign) in the CLIP window. Note, you can only have 1 user translation at one time. Moreover, CLIP will not show other translations until you have finished adding a user translation.

  • To access the CLIP window for your selected source text, press the CLIP Window Key + Z. You may then need to move the cursor around a little to bring up the selection menu. Users can copy translation results by using the Copy menu and pasting into other documents.
