I know that Stedman's Smartype works with Word and will work with ExText on a limited basis. Are there any platforms out there that Smartype will work with?

It is incorrect in the Cardioscribes template, goofball. Learn to read.
I use Stedmans, but have also used Sylvan, which I think sm
comes with a 30-day free trial period. Good luick in your new job! 
A nice big Dorlands or Stedmans illustrated sm
reference would be of great help since you've been away for a while. They give definitions, whereas the others are word books, made for MTs who know what the words mean, but need to check spelling.
Vera Pyle's latest book is good, too.
Use online references as a last resort. Many are unreliable.
I didn't know that. At TransTech we have Stedmans, so I guess they provide it.

I use Smartype with Extext and it works fine. It just automatically came on when I went on Extext.
Shorthand/Smartype
Hi: Only Shorthand is and they recommend it.
Smartype in EXText
When you are signed out of EXText, you have to go into your regular Word. In your Smartype menu, go to Smartype Preferences (Cntrl 2) and select the box/option for Start Smartype when Word is started. The next time you are in EXText and it brings up the Word document, your Smartline should be there and your suggestion box at the bottom of the page the way you are used to seeing it. You will just be missing the menu at the top of Word.
I should have explained this part before, I thought you were only looking for the menu. Sorry about that!
I hope this does the trick for you.
Smartype not in menu
Well, how do you turn on Smartype if it isn't listed on your toolbar?
I use Smartype and the ExText expander

It's similar to Smartype. Words pop up at the
if you see the word you are typing, you can hit enter and it puts in the entire word without you having to type the rest of it.
Is Shorthand or Smartype compatible with

Smartype into EXText Toolbar
Anyone know how to get the Smartype menu added to the toolbar in EXText?
Smartype in EXText toolbar
ST works great in EXText but you cannot add the menu, unfortunately. Use Cntrl 3 to add a word, Cntrl 5 to delete a word, and Cntrl 6 to modify a position while working in EXText. You cannot add a smart block while in EXText, so you will have to do that when you are logged out (or use the ESP Expander for blocks of text).
SmarType works great with ExText.
