Hi.  I'm use control for my jump code and works fine.  BUT....... I am using Chartscript so have headings like:<Name:>

Only problem - when I jump to the , it deletes the as it should but leaves an extra space between the : and the > so I always have to backspace - any suggestions???  TIA!!

Word?  TIA!

I posted yesterday about the jump codes. I put the brackets in by ctrl F9 and that worked great. The problem is that once I save it, I have to get the normal back to the screen when I want to use it by going to insert and then file and clicking on that normal. Once it loads the normal, all the brackets I inserted have turned to little square symbols and the F11 function is not working on them anymore.

Any ideas on what else I could do? I have to use the file and then insert though to retrieve the normal.

Thanks in advance!!

You set your jump code (mine is ^, can't remember the default) under Bayscribe word Expander settings, tab "Local Configuration" ... near the bottom of the list, "set quick find text" is where you enter your personal ^ and then under "find quick find text" you set your key-combo to take you to the next one ... (mine is shift-control-Y) ...

The big caution is to make sure that your "^" and key combo aren't already in use  (or something that might appear legitimately in a report)... and that work for you.  I had a problem with the defaults, but I can't remember what it was!  Good luck -- works great!

I assigned my macro to ALT-B, but you can assign any keys you want so long as they are not already in use for another function.

To create a new macro you click:

Tools -> Macros -> Record a new Macro

A window will open up that says:

Macro Name:  In the box type in the name you wish to give your macro. (I simply typed in AltB).

In the middle of the window you will see "Assign Macro to" with two buttons that say "Toolbar"  and "Keyboard".  Click the Keyboard button.

This opens a new window and your cursor will be in the field that says "Press new short cut key".  You will hit the series of keys you want to assign your macro to (in my case it was Alt+B).

Below you should see "Currently assigned to [unassigned}"  If it says it is assigned, you will need to pick other keys to assign your macro to.

Finally, click assign.

Now you are in your document and there will be a little box that has a stop button and pause button.  Every keystroke you make from this point on is recorded and will be assigned to your macro.

Now you want hit Ctrl+F which will bring up the find window and type in a character that you want your cursor to jump to.  I use the asterix (*).  Then click the stop button on the little box.

Then test our your macro.  I have report templates I use that look like this:

CHIEF COMPLAINT:  *

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:  *

And every time I hit Alt+B, I jump to the next asterix.

I hope this helps.  It sounds kind of confusing when you are trying to explain how to do it, but once you do it it is really pretty simple.

Yes, it will take a bit of time, but you will then have a test that belongs to you.  Any that you might find on the internet are most likely not meant for the use of others. 

Create bookmark names (patient, date, etc.). Put a cross-reference to those bookmark names where you want them to appear in the document. Save the template. Now, when you open the template, create a new document, fill in the patient name, date, etc. and mark with the appropriate bookmark. When you're finished with that, hit F9 and it will update all fields.

Both bookmark and cross-reference are found under Insert; cross-reference is a subcategory of Reference.
