If not browser-based (online) Wordfast Anywhere (Freetm.com) or java-based OmegaT (mind .DOC type), I often do office documents in the native Word environment via a free WordFisher (by Környei Tibor), last free Wordfast 3.35x (2002 yay!), old Metatexis (by Hermann Bruns) or Anaphraseus from OpenOffice.

Many thanks for that list, DZiW
I have tried Wordfast Anywhere but have been disappointed by the results in the format of the target document. I don't know if this is due to a problem in the wf software or if I should not expect any better...?
Your mention of Tibor's Word Fisher took me back a few years! Are you saying that his macros can be imported into the modern versions of Word? It never occurred to me that they might still work.
The others you mention I haven't tried. Which in your opinion is best in terms of preserving the original format (as far as possible, of course I understand that there will always be some work to do.)
