Are you trying to move your macros from Word on one computer to Word on another?

If so, try this....Go to microsoft.com and search for Word 2000 Supplemental Macros.  When you get the article, it will tell you to download the small application.  You will open the application in Word, and it will give you instructions on backing up the macros you already have.  You will do this on the computer you want to move macros from.  Once you have made a backup copy, email it to yourself.  Go to the computer you want to put the macros on.  You will need to download the Word Supplemental 200 Macro application on this computer also.  Save the email you sent yourself on your desktop, and open the application in Word again just as before.  You will select restore and pick the file on your desktop to restore to.  The macro will do all of the work and transfer all of the macros into your new computer. 

Now, if this is not want you wanted....... never mind.....

Thank you for replying to my VR macro question on mtstars.  I was hoping someone like you with knowledge of Instant Text and VR work could help me out.  Could you give me an example of how you would set up a macro to change a period to a comma and uncap the next letter in Instant Text for example?  Do you think using macros and commands like this in Instant Text is more productive than creating them in Word? 

I used to do this about 8-10 years ago, but forgot how to do this.  Please post how to do this.  This is for Word 2002.

Thanks

When you open your Word document, there should be an option in the toolbar above that says "Developer." Enter Alt F8 to view your macros, but I think you have to manually hit the Record Macro to enter new macros.

p.s. I prefer the previous Word version over this "new" one.

I have turned off my macro function somehow in MSWord.  I can't record or play macros.  I get an error message ' compiled error - invalid outside procedure'.  I have tried many things, I have changed my security to low, but still cannot run macros.  I have gone online and have tried suggestions on 'visual basic editor', but still nothing.  I need help, I do not use a word expander, I create and use macros and insta-text for myself.  If anyone has any suggestions, please share! 

Thanks so much!

I have never been able to figure out how to do special format characters in ShortHand, but if your Word version allows you to make Macros, you can set up a Macro that will do the same thing as ShortHand.  If your transcription platform does not accept Macros, you might still be able to “trick” it by then linking your ShortHand to your Word Macro.  It works for me but every Word version and transcription platform is different, so you may have to play around a bit before you hit the right combination.  If you need specific instructions to set up the Macro let me know.  Good Luck. 

I really don' t see all that much need to buy a ShortHand program, especially when you are just starting out and probably put out a lot of money already. Just click on your toolbar, click on autocorrect, and you will get a menu that you can use to add in your new expansions. 

if you would like to access this toolbar from your keyboard, you can create a macro that will do this.

Sub ATxtShow()
Dialogs(wdDialogToolsAutoCorrect).Show
End Sub

Paste this into your macro editor, and now record a "hot key" macro on whatever key(s) you would like to use.  I use alt-5, but you can use any alt or control key combination you have free.

I certainly hope this macro posts properly, I tried 3 times to post a macro that to count characters, and each time a quote mark was removed by the system, but I hope this will post properly.  I will follow up on this immediately after posting and make sure it is correct.

your read my post that said we are all just people no matter what color we are?

I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.

I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?

Darn Microsoft.

I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.

I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000.  Has anyone done this or doing it now.  If so, have you run into any problems. 

I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company.    I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription. 

I am interested to hear any and all comments.  Thank you so much in advance for any help!

Has anyone upgraded from W2000 to W2003? If so, did all your autocorrect entries and normals transfer easily? I would like to upgrade but don't want 2 lose my shortcuts and expanders! TIA

I had also said, before the thread got moved and deleted that we are all people and that color shouldn't make a difference.  What it all comes down to is Dog Chapman is a prejudiced person and he got caught.  What his son did was wrong, but it still doesn't make Dog Chapman right. 

Regarding AAMT, I thought what one poster said about Dog getting paid 6 cents a line for being AAMTs "motivational" speaker was hilarious.  And, what on Earth did having him as a speaker have to do with MT????  Again, I thought it was a tremendously dumb move on AAMTs part.

has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.

In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.

Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
