Hello everyone,
I have two quick questions about rather simple issues in Trados:
1) How do you configure auto-propagation so that it works on context matches when confirming a segment? (For example, if I confirm a context match of the segment string "ABC", it confirms every context match segment containing the string "ABC".) I can only get it to work on 100% matches.

I have two quick questions about rather simple issues in Trados:
1) How do you configure auto-propagation so that it works on context matches when confirming a segment? (For example, if I confirm a context match of the segment string "ABC", it confirms every context match segment containing the string "ABC".) I can only get it to work on 100% matches.
2) When using filters, is it possible for it to look for exact matches? For example, is there a way to set it so that if my filter is "ABC" it would include all segments with "ABC" but exclude those with "ABCD"?
Sorry if these seem simple/basic but I only use Trados infrequently and I'm not super familiar with its intricacies, nor could I find these with searches.
Thanks,

Don't forget to check the 'Regular Expression' box.
If you also want to capture different forms of your word like ABCs, ABCed, ABCing along with ABC, then use this regex:
\bABC[a-z]{0,3}\b
OR
\bABC[a-z]{1,3}\b to capture different forms like ABCs, ABCed, ABCing but exclude ABC itself.
=====
[a-z]{0,3} here means that any character from a to z can be there after ABC 0 to 3 times (0 as in ABC, 1 as in ABCs, 2 as in ABCed, 3 as in ABCing).
[a-z]{1,3} means that any character from a to z can be there 1 to 3 times (1 as in ABCs, 2 as in ABCed, 3 as in ABCing).

For segments that only include ABC, use ^ABC$

Thanks guys, that will speed things up a lot.
I wish I could get auto-propagate to work on context matches, but being able to narrow down to exact matches as Mr. Oriard indicated so I can quickly approve them will accelerate things a fair bit.

Probably you need to adjust these settings:
File - Options - Editor - Auto-propagation ...
