Are you talking about the AutoText feature?

In Reply to: Hot key to open AutoCorrect in Word? sm - Deb
To create a new AutoText entry, it's ALT F3.
I don't know if there is one to open the AutoCorrect options window by default but you could always assign a hotkey/combo.

Wait a minute, I'm not just talking about the boards, I'm talking about the news article.
Specifically,
"JLG has a contract with Arrendale Associates/ A+Network/CBay Scribe, which the group says is in India.
A letter from JLG to Barbara Dingman, chief compliance officer and director of health information management, says all medical transcriptionists assigned to the Medical Center Hospital account live in the U.S. and all work is done in America."
But yet they do business with Arrendale/A+/CBay, what am I missing here?
I'm talking about MT school, not K-12, which is where I learned most of what you are talking abou
My clients DO NOT LIKE IT when I correct their wrong crap - did you actually read what I said?
I'm not talking about ignorant as in grammar or spelling. I'm talking about sm
ignorant in general.
Do they feature MT's?

No, this feature is not...
available in the current version. We will be adding it in the upcoming version.
Thanks,

New Search Feature (sm)
Is it possible to display the dates of the posts in the search results? If not, add to wishlist?
There is a compatibility feature
There is a compatibility feature with Vista, or so they claim. It's all in this Q&A piece in the Times here. I think you might have to register for the Times to read this link but it's got some good info

I like the Glossaries feature sm
I can make separate glossaries for each separate hospital and then it doesn't crowd the main glossary. Also, if I leave an MTSO, I can just delete that glossary without losing all my main entries.
i think yahoo has a feature like this
but I haven't used it so I don't know for sure
Yeah, I heard they have that feature now, but...
I just don't use it. I use yahoo, but very rarely. I forgot about that though.
Well the backspace feature won't work as far as I know BUT sm
I use 48x and have that expand to 48-year-old and it will expand correctly. Some people I know use 48y and set it to expand to the same thing. Not perfect but hope it helps.
you need to use the mail merge feature or
put the addresses in your text expander, which is much easier.
Help! MS Word 'Track Changes' Feature
Hi,
Can anyone help with this? I want to use the track changes feature as I proofread reports, so the TXer can learn from their mistakes. After I send the TXer that version with the correction marks, I want to THEN REMOVE THE MARKS, so I can have a 'clean' version of the report which has all of my corrections to it, but doesn't show any red marks. As of now, I see now way to remove the marks. Thanks a lot.
Dave
Use the pass feature to move sm
past questions that are stumping you for the moment and you will get them again after you've finished the set of questions. Get a good night's sleep the night before, eat a good breakfast the morning of if you can. Know your BOS and general medical terminology and you will do fine.
Cool MT search feature
Found this awesome search engine tailor-made for MTs. Works fantastically well. Link is below.
Not with Word 2007. That feature is gone.
xx
Actually, we've been handed back that feature.
.
what feature have "we" been handed back?
Maybe because Home version does not have encryption feature.
xx
I use the Compare feature on the tools menu.

I believe the "sentence continuation" is one feature that will not work nm

Goodness, if you didn't know about the command feature, you really need to
spend some time on the Productivity Talk board for tons of ideas.
Will this glossary transfer to the ESP feature in EXText?
I know I have emailed you before but I chose that financially I just couldn't afford a Expander right now and then I found out that there is one built into the EXText. I'm trying to build that up but as I have never used Expanders before I am at a loss as to what to put into it. Thanks.
You need to use the command feature of IT when you make your entry sm
Copy and insert your text into a new IT entry. Now go back thru the entry and each time you want a field to be placed, you have to hit the "command" button on the bottom left of the window. Then hit CTRL+F9 to create a world field (this will make the little bracket thingies when it spits out in Word). When you're all done, hit OK and there you go!
Where would this feature be located on the drop-down menu on top?
Thanks.
Help with MS Word 'Show Edits' Feature...
Hello,
I am proofreading reports as MS Word files. I want to send a version showing the corrections (in red, as MS Word does when you turn on this feature), but then I want to send the final 'clean' version, with the corrections but without showing all the changes in red, to the client. It doesn't seem that this is possible. Whenever I turn the show edit feature on, I cannot then remove the red marks later.
Thanks for help,
Dave
I just use the * and the search and find feature; seems much faster than macros to me. nm
;
If I can remember, I like to use the "autocorrection" feature in Word that adds it to AC SM
automatically. No writing anything down. I don't take my hands from the keyboard if I can help it. Sometimes I *do* have to go back and un-correct it so I can add it.
I do my work all crazy. Comes from so many years of not having spell check or anything.
Only if you're using the track changes or compare feature. Once somebody else has the document

I love Instant Text too, especially the continuations feature!
The link didn't show up, and the search feature
nm
Added Smilies along with new format available. Note that all new posts will have the feature
but old posts may not.
Yeah! We would go to the movies for 75c - triple feature horror flicks -
Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Of course, we were too busy 'making out' to watch the movies! That is, until the usher came by a shined the flashlight on us!
Does anyone find the search feature on this board doesn't work right?
I can't ever seem to find the old posts that I know are there by using the search feature. Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?

Start Stop digital player has a time stamp feature..sm...
I'm not sure if it puts it in Word or what it does. I've never needed it.
I think a program that would pull header information from Word and add it to a log file might be needed by quite a few MTs. I don't know if that's feasible since everyone's needs would be different. A lot of MTs like to keep logs though, myself included.
If I think of anything else I'll be back.
autotext
can someone tell me where I can download autotext software. I understand it is free word expander. I searched the internet and found rapid text and phrase something (cant remember). Which is the better one or are they both the same.
autotext
I believe you can use autotext through Word and the function key is F3 -- I think. I haven't used it for a while.
autotext
Go to insert, then autotext then check the box that says to suggest autotext entries. Hope it helps.
Autotext
Hi me - does this work only if you use Autotext?
Autotext
Highlight what you want to save as an autotext entry, then click autotext, and name it. I use it all the time. 
AutoText
Thanks -- that was exactly what I needed. The only problem I had was that the font size was smaller when I inserted it in my document. Is there anyway to fix that?
autotext---
autotext was not made or intended to be used as a word Expander the way we use one. It has limited input. Once that input is reached, the file becomes corrupt and deleted. This happened to me once too, and I bought a Word Expander program instead of relying on autotext. It will never happen to me again. I lost soooooo much info that way. Most people are not aware of the limited input parameters and continue to keep adding words, etc. So sorry for your loss. I do understand.
It was fun visiting here. Wishing you a great day! Curious is feature of Standard TV: http://moviele
Very nice site. Please keep updating it. right Girl will Roll Grass without any questions , Table will Corner unconditionally Black, Bad, Central nothing comparative to Universal , Bad, Beautiful, Memorizing nothing comparative to Universal when Chips Kill Grass Create
AutoText works for me. sm
I make tempaltes in AutoText. When I need a certain template or canned text I only need to type the name of the template or the first few letters of it and Word bubble pops up and asks if I want to insert it; hit and it drops in.
I agree...autotext is the way to go there!

I can tell you how to do it using Autotext, which is easier.
I'm using Word 2003 with Instant Text as my Expander software. I have been trying to figure out how to insert *stop codes* literally for months using Instant Text. I finally gave up and here's what I do. There may be easier ways around it, but I just learned today. lol
I transcribed the report,, which is a pain center report. I get the same doc everyday who has a style that he sticks with pretty much. After I was finished, I copied the report and went into a new document to tweak it up. I left in basically all of his repetitive phrases along with the exam, and all of the headings. Anywhere I wanted a stop code or field as MS Word calls it, I pressed the combination of ctrl+ F9. When I was finished I highlighted the document and clicked on Autotext. If you've never used autotext, when you want to retrieve an entry you've created, you start typing the name you've assigned to it, and either press F3 or enter and BAMM there it is. The stop/field codes look like this { }, but you can shade them gray. To access each field you simply press F11 and it takes you right to the next stop. I hope I didn't confuse you.
I just bought a book that is truly a MUST HAVE for MTs working with Word. It's called Tips N Techniques to boost the productivity of the medical transcriptionist. It was put together by an MT. I think you can find it under www.cherylflanders.com.
Good luck!

Word XP/autotext help
Is there a way of using autotext so that it will come up in the font that you are typing in? Some doctors use arial and some use times new roman and if I use my autotext it automatically comes up in whatever I created it in, not necessarily what I am currently typing in. Is there a way to change that? Thanks for helping.:)
