Use review mode to review and correct your translations. In review mode, you look up cells just like in translation mode, except in this case you’re looking up translations instead of source segments.
If you make a correction to the translation in a cell (or textbox), add the translation to Felix by pressing Alt + ↑. This will correct the original translation unit (TU) in your translation memory.
To enter review mode, click on the half-green, half-white button on the right-hand side of the toolbar. To switch back to translation mode, click this button again.
When you’re in translation mode, an asterisk (*) appears next to the menu, and the colors of the toolbar buttons are inverted.

Select the cell you wish to look up. Then from the Felix
menu, select Lookup, or press Alt + L. The
translation in your TM matching the cell’s contents will appear in Felix.
Note that unlike Word, formatting information is not preserved for Excel queries.
If a text box is selected, then the contents of the text box will be looked up.

Sometimes when you look up a translation in your memory, Felix will have more than one suggestion (if you enable the Translation History feature (see 6.5 Translation History), however, it will show the exact translation you used for the cell or textbox in question).
The number of suggestions, and the number of the current suggestion, will be shown at the bottom right of the suggestion:
In this example, the first of three suggestions (1/2) is being shown.
To view the next suggestion, click on Next in the Memory window, or from Excel, select Felix >> Next Translation (or press Alt + N).
Tip: The score for the next translation (in this example 68%) is shown next to the Next link.
To view the previous suggestion, click on Prev in the Memory window, or from Excel, select Felix >> Prev Translation (or press Alt + P).
Tip: The score for the previous translation (in this example 68%) is shown next to the Prev link.
Matches will cycle: If you press Next while on the last suggestion, the first suggestion will be shown; likewise, pressing Prev while on the first suggestion will show the last suggestion.
Alt + ↑).
Alternatively, you can select
Set and Next (or press Alt + S); this will
register the current cell, and look up the next one
(scanning left-to-right, top-to-bottom until a cell with
text is found or a maximum number of cells has been searched).
