Unhappy Can't type in new TM, please help!

Hello,

I'm hoping someone could please help me. I'm about 1 week into the free SDL Trados 2006 trial, and I still can't figure out how to use it! The tutorial keeps talking about how to use an existing TM to do a translation, but I don't have an existing TM.

What I'm trying to do is create my own TM, then to do a translation. Someone helped me on another thread to "create" a TM, which I did. I named it and saved it, but wasn't able to type anything in it.

Could somebody pleeeease help me with the following:

1) How do I type in a TM once I've created it?
2) What is the best way to format the TM:
a) type Spanish text, press tab, type English text?
b) type Spanish text, press enter, press tab, type English text?
c) other?

Thank you in advance for any help!
