In Reply to: A majority of the software used IS Word based, or do you just want to use Word by itself? nm - still wandering
Some companies have different interfaces and formats (Spheris was horrible...my opinion, of course....) was interested in using MSWord itself.

MSWord
This is certainly not an answer to your question, but one of my own. I make samples, too, but I just store them out in the expander, rather than as a document in a file. Is there any reason you don't do this, or any reason I should not be doing this? So far it works fine. I just type in my code words (part of doc's name with let for letter) and it pops onto the screen.
MSWord
Okay, a question about using dot doc. Those are Word documents, right? The problem is, I cannot have Word open while I am transcribing, because the platform I use is Word-based and attaches itself to Word. If I try to use Word, then everything locks up.
Right now what I am doing works for me. I have a limited number of cardiology docs (clinic), so my macros are limited, too. If Autocorrect begins to have problems with it, then I will have to try something else - like IT. And if I had a program that wasn't Word based, then I could use Word for storing my macros, too. I agree - trying to edit is not very convenient! And trying to copy from the text into something that is already in Autocorrect usually doesn't work, either; it's a hit-and-miss project, and I have never figured out why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Anyway, for me right now, it works. If things change, then I will have to re-evaluate what I do. Thanks for all the input.

Can you help me with MSWord Template? SM
Hi everyone! I'm working on about 20+ reports by the same doctor. I have a template that I saved for him under MSOffice, Templates, his name. In the past, I've been going to explore (right clicking on the start menu) and physically pulling up the template for each and every report.
Is there a way I can just open the template once. Finish the first report and then automatically when a new Word document opens it will open that template?
Thanks,

Learning MSWord - need help
Finally have given in and am switching from WP to MSWord. I work from home. If anyone has any encouraging words about MSWord, I certainly would like to hear them. So far, I am going crazy, i.e., I have put in "gray boxes" but when I enter my autocorrect short cut for the "shell", my cursor goes to the bottom of the page and I have to page up 2-3 times. I am missing something?
Any help would be so very much appreciated 
Thank you.... bw...
Macros - MSWord
When I do clinic notes I need to make a log, so have been copying the heading over to another document.
However, someone told me that in WP8 there is a macro that can do this automatically. If true, is there such a thing in Word?
If anyone keeps a separate log, can you tell me how you do it.
Thank you.
Try the MSWord tutorial. It is all there.

TIA for any help.
An MSWord question
I make normals of my own for reports I do on a company platform. I save my normals in the My Documents folder under the hospital number.
Some of my normals are saved in blue letters and some in black letters. Can anyone tell me what the difference is and how I can make them all black.
Sounds trivial, I know, but.....
TIA
Stand alone MSWord
You can get it at Office Max, etc., it is the full version and costs around $450-500. Getting it in the Suite is much much less expensive (I think about $90-100, it has been a long time) and is all you will ever need for transcription.
MSWORD question. sm
There use to be a way in Word when if you were typing listed items by number, that when you got to #10, you could move one space to the left so the items on the right would be in proper alignment. Anyone know how to do this. Thanks.
or another w ay MSWord 2003-
Click VIEW (top on tool bar) Click FULL SCREEN

MSWord 2003 problem
Help! I recently purchased a new computer and reloaded my old Word 2003 on it. I have customized some of the settings according to Laura Bryan's MT Werks book that I've used before. I prefer to type using normal view. The status bar at the bottom is NOT showing me the Ln at the bottom; i.e., 6.5, 6.7, etc. unless I switch to print view. So I don't know where I am on the page, doesn't display page breaks, etc. This USED to show up, now it doesn't. I really don't like to type in print view as well. What happened? Any ideas??
The platform I use pulls from my MSWord

The "counter" in MSWord is not accurate. While it is after the fact, (sm)
I highly recommend purchasing Slycount.(http://www.sylvansoftware.com/sylcount.htm). First and foremost, be honest. Tell him/her the invoice you submitted is not accurate, and after deciding exactly what and how you wish to charge, send an amended invoice.
Looking for a good word expander to go along with MSWord. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Hi all!!! I am currently using MSWord and would like to purchase a word expander. I have done some research, but am still not certain which one to buy. I wish not purchase one that will drain my bank account, but do want one with the capability to have the ability to add an indefinite amount of shortcuts, etc. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!
Easier way to sort an address list in MSWord?
The only way I know to sort an address list in MSWord is by making the first line of the address a Heading. Is there an easier way? I received a 150-page address list from a doctor and it isn't organized in any way whatsoever. And *snif* I'm not looking forward to manually changing the first line of each addy to a heading, but I don't know any other way to do it. Hey! 'Tis the season for miracles, no?
macro to import expansion list into MSWord Autocorrect
Here is my macro that will import your expansions into MSWord. Your list needs to be in the following format for this macro to work:
tp=the patient
copd=COPD
chf=CHF
There needs to be a hard return at the end of each entry. If you have any expansions that contain an equal sign or a hard return, you will need to enter those into your autocorrect manually. Here is the macro:
Sub Add2AutoCorrectList()
Dim AddName, AddValue As String
Dim W, C, A, L, Y, T, N As Long
Dim CountWords As Boolean
Selection.WholeStory: Selection.Collapse
N = ActiveDocument.Words.Count: C = 0: A = 0: T = 0
ScreenUpdating = False
While N > 0
x = Selection.MoveEndUntil(cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward)
If x = 0 Then
End
End If
Selection.MoveEndUntil cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward
AddName = Trim(Selection.Text)
L = Selection.Words.Count
With Selection
.Delete: .Delete
.MoveEndUntil cset:=Chr$(13), Count:=wdForward
End With
AddValue = Trim(Selection.Text)
Y = Selection.Words.Count
AutoCorrect.Entries.Add (AddName), Value:=(AddValue)
Selection.Delete , Count:=2
T = L + 2
N = N - T
C = C + 1
A = A + 1
If N < 1000 Then
ScreenUpdating = True
N = ActiveDocument.Words.Count
End If
If A = 100 Then
Application.ScreenRefresh
'ScreenUpdating = True
StatusBar = N & " " & C & " " & " entries processed!"
A = 0
End If
Wend
End Sub
One word of warning: When I posted a line counting macro here some time ago, I could not get a quote mark in the code to post, so the macro as posted would not work, and I had to followup with a post explaining how to correct that. This macro is a bit more complicated than the other one was, and although I will look at the code as soon as this posts, if it doesn't come through perfectly, and you don't understand my corrections, you can e-mail and I will send it to you.
Also, I wrote a companion macro that will list your autocorrect into a document so that you can import it into another computer or just keep it as a backup in case you lose your normal.dot.
