Depends on what word program you are using
Posted By: Carla on 2007-08-16
In Reply to: I feel dumb asking this question, but here goes - I space or two after the end of a sentence? nm - Shelley
If you are using microsoft word 2003 or even 2000, I believe, then you only put in 1 space as there is a built in space in word that already shows up and if you try to put in a second space it will go in one space when you go down to the next line. Hopes this helps.

PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

Maybe it depends on the program you use.
I've heard Dragon seems to be good. But do not work with the Dictaphone version. It sucks. I'm on it right now, and have hated it from day one. If I'm forced to stay on this speech recognition, I will eventually quit and go elsewhere. It's more trouble correcting, fixing, and re-typing than what it's worth. I could type it easier by myself the first time, than constantly cleaning up a speech mess.
Some are good dictators, and that's fine. But the bad ones outweigh the good ones.
If you're on the same account/dictators consistently, yes, you could make good money. But in a big facility, with a pool of 20-30 dictators, always switching, NO.
Anyone ever used this Word program?
Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003. Does this have MS Word 2003?
Word count program
I have an older model puter that is slowly going up and have word 97 count program on it. I am looking for something that is compatible with that - that also does all headers and footers - not just the header and footer on the first page that I can put on my new puter. I have checked in to SPellex and that is really slow counting. I also checked in to Abacus, which was fast and pretty accurate; it actually gave me a little more on a few of my reports as a trial run. ANyone have any ideas on this. Thanks for any help. 
Does your word processing program
have "search and replace" feature? That should do what you want.
Yes, it's a word expander--can be used with any program (not just DQS)
word expander program sm
Pros and cons of word Expander programs that work with Chartscript? PC ShortHand as opposed to Instant Text? Which is better? I have downloaded PC shorthand for a 30 day trial, but to me its a little slow. Any ideas? Thanks
You need Microsoft's Word. It is a program that requires
installation. The account sounds good at 13/cent a line. Better invest in Word (costs a bit) unless you have a kind friend who will share theirs with you.
PRD is a dos-based program, will not work in Word.
It is a great program, wish it would, but you might have to look at something like Shorthand. Same with Stedman's. It is a Windows installation, not a copy/paste like the old dos programs (WP, etc.)
downloading free word program
has anyone ever used open office to download word so a test can be taken? I rent a computer from my company and I know I probably should not do this. My question is would they know if this is being done? Thank you.
smartype attaches to your Word program - SM
so you cannot use it unless you open Word as well as the account's platform, and type there (then copy/pasting the reports into the facillity's system).
Shorthand works independently so works with pretty much all systems.
I've never had one that did not expand a shorcut with the space bar.
dictaphone word client program
I went into google, typed 'dictaphone word client', saw your request there and a few others re this - you might find your answer using Google search. Good luck. Jean
It depends on your version of Word.

I think it depends on what year Word--sm
you have. I updated to XP and now the only way I have found to edit/change an entry is to insert in on a page, make changes, highlight and rename it. You will get a prompt stating an AutoCorrect entry already exists-do you want to redefine it--click yes.
As for the y/o I typed and saved -yo to expand to -year-old. There may be an easier way some one else may know. Hopes this helps.
I use my own word expanders. Depends on
the platform as to whether or not an Expander program is built-in or if you need to provide your own. One company I work for uses DQS & has it built-in, another uses MS Word & I use my own ShortHand program.
Depends on your version of Word. sm
With autonumbering turned on, Word 2000 and later will automatically indent your list. You cannot turn off the indent, however, you can press Alt + Shift + left arrow to demote the list to the left margin. You can also create your own numbered style with no indent.
It's a stand alone program and doesn't pull up within Word itself. nm

Pros & Cons of ESP word expansion program?
Does this work pretty well? (I have Word 2002) I'd like not to have to buy any software. Any opinions on ESP? Any other Word-compatible programs that work well, also?
That would depend on the employer's set up. Word can be interfaced with another program, sm
in that, Word would be running remotely, but in conjunction with another program. If this is the case, the documents would be saved on the employer's server and not on any drive on your pc as a Word document. If you using Word exclusively, when saving a document it would be stored on your computer's hd and/or a cd.
Get a decent word expansion program like PRD or Shorthand sm
autocorrect is very limited. If you want to make money, your really need a good expander.
C-phone + Word versus software program
What I'm trying to say is that it seems more time consuming to use a C-Phone and Word rather than a software program because everything is just a click away with a program, whereas with a C-phone and Word you have to dial in, do paperwork, send work through e-mail, create templates, etc, etc. Seems much more efficient to use a program thereby saving time and making more $$$. (You can probably tell I'm still fairly to this). TIA
Can't do it. Word is kind of a clumsy program, there's a lot that is self-evident that it sho
1. Take care of that capitalization issue you were talking about.
2. Capitalize after a colon : 99% of the time, you want a capital.
3. Capitalize reliably after a period. If doing numbers, like 3.7 for a potassium, or 6.8 for a white count, it won't cap after the period (White count 2.8. hemoglobin was... the H in hemoglobin won't auto cap). Come on, Microsoft. Let us decide if we want it or not. Or what to apply it to (tables).
4. About 7 other things that it could do better, but they never work on it. Not as sexy as photos, TVs, gaming. I don't think Microsoft will ever look at Word from the production typist point of view.
Just my input. In the new versions, it won't even capitalize in a numbered list, if you don't hit the shift key. Why are we hitting the shift key 30 years after computers came out? SHouldn't they be doing the work???

Word 2003 speech recognition program
Has anyone heard of this or used it? I have Word 2003 and it has a built in speech recogition program that I did not know existed. From what I can see, I just have to download the software, purchase a microphone headset, and train the thing. Has anyone used this, is it proficient, and has it increased your transcription production. Also, I transcribe in ChartScript/NetLinc which is a Word-based program. For those who have used the speech recognition through Word would this work for me?
It depends on your version of Word. Which one are you working in
and which version of Windows? Later versions no longer include the WP5.1 filter but you can use the old one if you still have old installation CDs. You can also download the filter from the link below.
Depends on the versions of Word and WordPerfect. sm
Some WP versions can read Word .doc files, some don't. Some versions of WP will not accept copy/paste from Word. The advice to save the Word document as an .rtf file may be your only choice.
Will the Stedman's work with that version of Word? You buy the basic program and then

Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.
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.
Is any one running ExText with Word 2000 and EditScript with Word 2003 sm
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!
it is attached to your version of Word. Open Word and it'll be on your tool bar. NM

I type the letter "l" in IT and the word cholelithiasis is my word selected?Why?
I want to get rid of this. Entered left again but it is still giving me cholelithiasis as the only word option to select from.
This is why I find this program crazy. Everytime I sit down for the day, there is a whole new experience with it!!! I have to stop and think before each word!!!
How do you make fields in Word Perfect like in Word? I'm drowning out here
in new keyboard commands, macros, etc. Thanks.
In the future, please post word questions on the Word board.

Word AutoText, AutoCorrect, and Spellchecker, and other Word features
I have just started working for a company that uses Word (my previous experience was HTML-based and had its own autotext and spellchecker).
I have never bought medical spellcheckers nor Instant Text, especially that I have learned a lot from posters here that one could use the autocorrect feature for long words/phrases/paragraphs/templates. I have heard of people saying autocorrect was not meant to be used for such.
I have been browsing some features of shortcuts in Word (using the Assistant), and have discovered that it has AutoText. I tried it by highlighting a whole document (canned procedured), then hit Alt+F3, assigned a code, and voila! I have a template that readily inserts into an open Word document by typing the code and hitting Enter.
Also, I have learned that I can insert empty fields (for variables in my templates like BP/HR/RR/Temp values by hitting Ctrl+F9, then when I have inserted the autotext for a template with such empty fields, I can readily jump from one field to the next (to fill them up with values) by hitting F11 (or Shift+F11 to go to previous empty field).
We do know that many dictators want us to type verbatim even for running sentences, so that I have found the Spelling and Grammar checker feature of Word quite cumbersome. I discovered tonight that I could use just the spellchecker feature by clicking on Tools > Customize, then under Categories, select Tools; under Commands, select Spelling. I dragged that onto my tool bars so I can do a quick spellcheck. Cool thing was, the previous documents I have made with new drug names, etc., which I have spellchecked using a non-Word program, were automatically included in its database (so I do not have to re-enter them as I begin to utilize this feature). Drawback: I could not make a shortcut key for this (have to use the mouse again!)
Then I made my OWN keyboard shortcut for autocorrect by going to Tools>Customize>Keyboard (click on button then another window appears), Under Categories, choose Tools; under Commands, choose AutoCorrect. Under Press new shortcut key, assign the shortcut you want (F key, Alt or Ctrl + desired key), then click on Assign button.
Well, that is all I can share for now. I have learned a lot from posters here, and I hope I have added some info, especially for Word users like me who can be categorized as average.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
