   Q. I get the following message when I open Wordfast Pro on Catalina: "Wordfast Pro would like to receive keystrokes from any application. Grant access to this application in Security & Privacy preferences, located in System Preferences." I grant access, but I'm required to do it again every time I open WF. Any suggestions as to how to avoid this prompt from popping up all the time?
 There are changes by Apple in macOS 10.15 Catalina that change an application’s default access to keyboard and mouse input. Despite the wording in the System Preference pane, Wordfast Pro does not monitor your keyboard while using other apps. The Input Monitoring permission is used only for unaccelerated mouse input and low latency keyboard access while using the application. While Wordfast Pro is in the background or while it is not running, your keyboard and mouse inputs are not read or captured.
   Q. Help! I can't open Powerpoint files in Wordfast Pro 5.3 (and above)?

 However, there is a workaround! Go to your '''Language & Region settings''' and make sure the region “matches” your primary language. For example, if your primary language is French, select France as the region. If this fails, set your region to United States.
   Q. How can I import a PDF file for translation?

 This is a known bug but is beyond Wordfast’s control. It should only affect users on Mac High Sierra and above (10.13.2) whose primary interface language does not match their regional settings.
