automatic spacing
Hi,
If you have automatic spacing enabled in IT, it automatically inserts a tentative space after every expansion. If you then type a punctuation key, IT will then automatically jump back and remove that tentative space and insert the punctuation.
If you have both the built-in Expander in Chartnet enabled, along with IT, the two programs may conflict with each other so it would be best to disable the Chartnet expander while using IT.
Lastly, be sure you are using the latest release of IT which is 5.44 with a built date of May 2007 and if you are using Vista, make sure the User Account Control setting is disabled.
Automatic spacing in shorthand?
Does anyone know how to set up 2 spaces after a period and 2 spaces after a colon in ShortHand version 10? One poster here said that this: {@@key Bksp}. worked and it did not work for me. It worked once and then it erased the last letter as it put in the spaces. 
Also Microsoft Word 2000 doesn't seem to have a spacing feature unless I am not looking in the right spot. Wish I had IT as everyone says that is a no brainer to use and setup. TIA. 
Fractions to Decimals
1 and 1/4 cm would convert to 1.25 cm as a decimal. Metric measurements must always be expressed in decimal form, never as fractions. Remember that the first place to the right of the decimal point is the "tenths" place and the next is the "hundredths." So, 0.25 is really saying "2.5 tenths" or "25 hundredths"--25/100, or 1/4 when that fraction is reduced. Again, 0.50 would be the same as saying "five tenths" or "50 hundredths"--50/100, 5/10, or 1/2 when you reduce all of the way. 0.75 would be "7.5 tenths" or "75 hundredths"--75/100, which reduces to 3/4.
All fractions can be converted to decimal form and vice versa, although the math can get a little ugly. Nowadays you can buy fairly cheap calculators ($15) that will do the conversions for you both ways. Hope that helps.
spacing after sentences
Does everyone space once after the end of a sentence now? My daughter takes keyboarding in high school and I just realized they are not taught to double space after the end of a sentence. Should I then change to single spacing after the end of a sentence?
thanks for that - but I need help with double spacing - sm
not with spacing between sentences. Its when a doctor dictates a paper for a journal and he wants the whole thing double spaced so that he can write between the lines or make corrections or for easier reading for him.
Double spacing in an H&P
Where and when, if anywhere, is it acceptable to double space between anything in an H&P or any other report? We have a double-spacing queen in our department getting paid by the line like the rest of us so I feel cheated on both line count and paydays.
Thanks and hope everyone is having a Happy Valentine Day!
how about under format/line/spacing? sm
there's a tip in help in that topic that explains it
change spacing in a document..SM
I know I saw here a long time ago..a way to change your doc to single
space inside Word..I mean to change a typed page that has 2 spaces after periods
back to 1 space..Does anybody know how to do this. TIA
We started the new spacing about 2 months ago. At first I said "oh no". sm
Our QA dept did tell us about the tip Ctrl + Shift + F, 2 spaces, tab, 1 space. I was really surprised how quickly my brain accepted the new one space after periods and colons. I still do the double check, but I'm finding very few doubles now.
That only changes spacing between letters - it's called kerning.
Word does not automatically space after periods. You can only flag spaces in the spelling/grammar settings. There is something else running in the background (such as a text expander) that is adding the additional spaces.
Can't you change it in Format/Paragraph/Line spacing like
s
I just go alt+T and A.It's so automatic I don't even think about it. SM
That's to add a word though. You don't scroll down through your entries to use an AC, do you?
For the asterisk: Just write a macro. Go to a document that has an asterisk in it.
Tools/Macros/Record new macro (The little tape-looking icon comes on your screen. It's like turning on a recorder).
EDIT/FIND/*/enter then stop recording.
I think that's right. I've had mine for so many years that I can't really remember what it says. You can e-mail me if you have trouble with it.
Should be automatic but if not
I had trouble with mine but then I realized that I had not followed directions completely as I had not closed ALL my programs before installing it and once I did that again with all windows/programs closed worked great. If it is 2006 they suggest using the word "Rozerem" and "panitumumab" to check it. Good luck.
The UPS Store only allows the automatic $100 if you pay
them to package your stuff. I learned that one trying to ship equipment back to my former employer. I wasn't about the shell out even more money for them to box up something that I put back in the company's original box.

I just got scolded because one trainer tells me to leave as is because when the report is printed out it aligns, and now someone else told me FIX THAT! Wow. I have no idea what to do.
no i'm glad i'm not the only one. I do have automatic

yepper - automatic deduction from invoice
and was not told about it before the fact - just that the account was switching over - was sent the e-mail about "rental" after the fact - then when the foot pedal broke they wanted to charge me for the replacement. Hello? It's a RENTAL??? I still work there but am branching out. It is not the norm.
Does Dictatphone Ex-Text have automatic save as you are typing?
Thanks.
Do away with automatic numbered list. See inside steps.
Tools, Autocorrect, AutoFormat as you Type, uncheck Automatic Numbered Lists.
Oh, I thought it was an automatic thing on computers these days.
Maybe my hubby set ours up to do it; I'm not sure. It would be under START, then PROGRAMS, then ACCESSORIES, then SYSTEM TOOLS, then choose SYSTEM RESTORE.
Then it would ask you what date you want to restore to.
Something great-- Using Google-- set to use the automatic function of completing the search
For anyone like myself who never used the automatic completion function of Google, IT IS GREAT.
I just started using it, and when I typed in like the first 2 words of something I had never heard before, like say you were typing "sphincter of", then sphincter of Oddi would be one of the choices that Google would automatically bring up.
This is so great! What a time saver. Try it.
Someone with more tech expertise can maybe say how to set the settings so the Google automatic completion comes on. sometimes it would be there and sometimes not, but I downloaded some add-on for Firefox that makes it always there. It was the "Customize Google" add-on for Firefox.
So, if you are using Firefox (Mozilla) browser, go to the add-on page (Google it) and then download the "Customize Google" add-on and then set the settings. I think this was the most useful. There is a way to set it from Google, but it kept not working somehow, the settings would go away.
Other downloads I have used-- other Firefox add-ons that I found helpful: Adblock Plus. Google Toolbar for Firefox (different than Customize Google), and Auto Copy. -- Auto Copy will automatically put whatever you select on a Web sit onto your clipboard, so you can paste it right into the document.
Hope someone finds this all helpful. Thanks for all your gals' help over the years. I have learned a lot and got a lot of tips, and so wanted to post this.
