Short Keys and Babylon Software

I am trying to use Babylon Software which recently became available to Mac. It is a foreign language translation program. I have Parallels partioned on half of my Power Book, and the software works fine with Windows. However, this program relies on using shortcut keys to obtain instant translation. When I "control middle button" click on my mouse, the Babylon software window opens up, but the program keeps translating the header of the Word document. It won't translate anything else unless I manually enter the word. Can anyone help? I feel like I wasted money on both Word and Babylon for Mac. Thanks...Frustrated

It isn't that we don't *want* to help, but unless someone in the newsgroup
"just happens" to be using the same Babylon software there's not a thing we
can suggest. There are keystrokes assigned in the apps -- such as Word -- as
well as others that are controlled by the operating system. In most cases
the OS assignments take priority... Some can be altered, some can't.

You're introducing a 3rd player in the game which is allegedly compatible,
so if it is proving to *not be* your best source of information would be to
contact that program's support services. Especially if it is a newly
released product that's where the problem is occurring. Babylon should be
able to determine what needs to be done to get their product to work... Word
doesn't have anything to say about it. And even if it does, the developers
of the other software need to identify what that might be

Good Luck |:>)
