Hi, I have a set of the EN source and JP target (already translated) files in Word for the previous project. I recently started to use the Wordfast Pro5 and received the next project, which is quite similar to the previous one. How can I import these old files to Wordfast as TM or any other way to make use of it? Much appreciate your advice, thank you!

You need to "align" them to create a new TM. How quickly the alignment will be, depends on how similar your source and target files are.
Try these:
* Wordfast Desktop Aligner (PC only) https://www.wordfast.net/wiki/Wordfast_Desktop_Aligner (included in WFP3) To download WFP3, go to https://www.wordfast.com/legacydownload . The installer doesn't create a shortcut to the aligner, but it's called "Wordfast_Aligner.exe". In fact, no need to install WFP3 -- simply unzip the installer and you'll find the aligner in one of the subfolders.
* PlusTools https://www.wordfast.net/wiki/PlusTools The aligner that accompanied WFC many years ago. Requires MS Word. Very fast and very easy to use once you figure out how.
