Different combination shortcut keys that I don't want to

also incompatible with Stedman Smartype (Word 2003 made a change that conflicts with Smartype, not a Smartype issue). Earlier versions of Word do not have this conflict.

shortcut keys
I am wondering if anyone knows this- there is supposed to be a shortcut key that you can circumvent an Expander with. Say I want to type the name Lee and lee is my expander for lower extremity edema, is there something I can hit that would keep it from expanding just when I typed the name? I swear I remember someone telling me this once but now nobody in our entire facility seems to know what that would be. Thanks!
Try the shortcut keys
You will do much better with the shortcut keys. Remember, the linecount varies, depending on the physician and the customer. Give Alt-K a try.
Good luck
Assign shortcut keys to macro Wordperfect?
I have to switch to Wordperfect after working in MS Word for 7 years. I have figured out how to record a macro, but how do you assign a shortcut key to it?
What I am wanting to do is jump to the next * in my reports because that is how I move from heading to heading.
The help section in WP just confused me
Any help is wonderful
Thanks
A macro shortcut requires that you strike 2 or more keys. nm

A combination of both, but mostly A
People who have been dependent on the government their who life have never had anything expected of them but to take, take, take.
They then expect the government to take care of them and it's never enough.
They teach their kids to expect the government to take care of them.
None of these people have ever had to be resourceful, ambitious or develop any life-maintaining skills.
So it goes on and on and on.
The bottom line is this:
People will be what's expected of them. If nothing is ever expected of them that's what they become.
Somewhere along the line society was given some kind of responsibility for taking care of people who refuse to even try. I have no problem with the gov't helping out someone who has lost her job, got divorced, has an unexpected crisis, but most of these people have been on some kind of program for generations and just expect it with no intention of ever supporting themselves, and even worse, they reproduce like rabbits because there are no repercussions for the irresponsible behavior.

I think its a combination of things, I myself would
That consistently runs out of work, because I have nothing to fall back on. Maybe these ladies have a husband who can pick up the slack, so they are not so worried. Also its a pain in the butt to post your resume and start all over with a new company, new dictators, and not to mention you don't know what you're getting paid until youre actually signed on and let go from your other job. Whats up with that? Why don't they ever post the actual salary like other lines of work? They at least say "start out at 30,000k per year" or something similar. Its a big mystery what your paycheck will be and thats a nail biter in itself.
You will also sometimes find a combination...
There are accounts where you do the clinic notes (for office visits - H&Ps and consults) and also the acute care reports for that same doctor/doctors when they perform surgery or another in-hospital procedure. Then you'll have the operative report as well as the discharge summary. I love these accounts, as you follow the patient from initial diagnosis (sometimes after several office visits), through their hospital course, and then back to the office for followup.
As far as knowing what type of work a company has - ask. That is the best way to find out. 
combination of 3 meds usually (sm)
Most hospitals have their own chemo cocktails for mouth sores but most consist of Mylanta/ Maalox, Benadryl and lidocaine or xylocaine anything to numb the soreness of the ulcers.
That's a great combination!
When using weights, even light ones, remember that technique is very important. Move the weights slowly with no momentum. Don't let wrists flop. They should be rigid and slightly curled in.
There may be a combination of both. I nearly flunked
typing in junior high and I can't believe I make my living typing. I know it is more than typing, but .... I had no MT training, no MT education, just kind of fell into it. My very first day I did 667 lines. I wasn't working in an office but in the MTSO's home office. I didn't have an Expander at the time. Now many years later (18) I can do 2700 lines/day on a good day, but 1800 to 2200 is my norm. My typing speed increased, plus my terminology has increased so I'm not looking up a lot of stuff. Between the 2 it has allowed me to increase my lines.
You really can't compare what you do to others because there are lots of factors. How they count lines, the difficulty of the dictation, the platform, etc.
How about a combination of both approaches? SM
I've been using an Expander almost as long as the first primitive little DOS-based one became available. So of course, with no Mary Morkens or anything else out there, I started out building my entire system from scratch to suit myself. And I definitely believe it works for me much better than an imported system could.
However, ultimately it took a tremendous investment of time, and it's the only one like it in the world. If I ever lost it, I might just leave the field and start selling plants from my garden on e-bay or something.
A lot of people who work in offices will some morning come in and be greeted by the information that they've been laid off and a security officer assigned to make sure they don't mess with the computer. Will they have a copy of their dictionary at home or lose everything?
Losing a dictionary built on a standard system, then personalized and built up further would be hard but not crippling. And as pointed out, no need to reinvent the wheel...totally from scratch anyway.
I'd say a combination of B and C. House may be miserable, but after
watching all House episodes, he does have a heart, albeit surrounded by iron, lock with no key.
No but sounds like a deadly combination. nm
This is the perfect combination for termites too. nm
What if you brought on a combination MT/QA person, and - sm
you each transcribed, and then each checked the other's work? QA would go faster, more transcription could be done, and you'd sort of be killing 2 birds with one stone, while still being able to remain a small, high-quality service.
It has to be a combination of talent for this work and SM
platform/work count. I have the talent and my production initially was excellent but then my income kept going down, and dowm, without any discernible cause. The difference was in how production was being counted on the other side of the computer screen. Fine, if it's fair and we understand why, but we weren't being told even that the decreases were occurring, much less why. Someone the ability to put out good work but without that initial earnings experience might think it was only him or her.
What would be ideal is a combination of the ErgoMagic
keyboard that can be angled PLUS that touch pad. hmmmmm
I'll definitely post if I find one that works for me.
Have you ever had "hypocrit" pie, a combination of applie and custard. nm

Oh I see, I'm glad you found a combination that works for you! nm

I use shortcut
but this has happened to me with it and I was told to always make sure you open your expansion program behind the document you are working in.
Shortcut
What are "Shortcuts" and "Windows" expanders? I don't like the Expander I have and I can't use the one I bought about five years ago.
No shortcut!
Notice all these products say somewhere in fine print (even on commercials) something like "works best with a sensible diet and exercise." Proper diet and exercise the ONLY answer to losing weight.
Another ? Has anyone used PRD and ShortCut?
I'm having to switch Expanders too and have used PRD. While researching it seems that ShortCut is very similar to PRD. Does anyone know if you can import Expander word list from Dos to Windows?
I use every shortcut I can
That is the way to make money
Shortcut
I think these only work if the software has it written into it.
Try Control plus "+" to enlarge and Control plus "-" to decrease the viewing size of the characters.
Otherwise, you could go into your software's "view" option and see if there is a shortcut there.
Here's a shortcut for you.
Using the information given to you below on how to write the formula, you can copy the formula(s) to a many rows below by doing the following:
Left mouse click in the first cell that contains the formula to be copied. Hold down that mouse button to highlight the cell(s) containing the formula(a) you want to copy and all the cells by dragging the mouse across them (still holding down that mouse button). When you get to the last cell you want to highlight, let go of the mouse button and hit Ctrl+D. This will copy the formula(s) into their respective columns, changing all cell references accordingly.
(Please post if you don't understand this and I'll try to re-explain.)
Here's another shortcut
If you have to have multiple apps open at once: i made a macro and assigned to an F key - so to switch back and forth I only have to hit one key.
Also did the same with block and copy - one stroke on an F key.
ShortCut
LOVE ShortCut and have used it for years with success on virtually every platform I have ever used
I use Shortcut
This one is really simple to use/edit. I've been using it for years but I can't rate it against anything else because I've never used anything else. If you're using a platform that doesn't work well with the expander, there is a way to load the Expander entries into the autotext function and it will expand the same way.
As for the entries themselves, here's what I usually do:
I'd enter "chff" for congestive heart failure, using the extra "f" because there are times when a client only wants the abbrev. This way I can type "CHF" without it expanding every time.
Shortcut
Have used shortcut for years, when I changed jobs, the tech people were able to do it, there is also an 800 number to call the company that distributes shortcut and they will walk you thru it when you first purchase - also I think their web site had directions. I currently work in Chartscript so don't know if it is the same.
ShortCut
I went to the website for ShortCut but still have some questions (there's not much info about it out there, like on Productivity Talk). Does it have a preview window like ShortHand and the old SmartType? Can you import your word list from other Expander programs into it?
shortcut
There is a book Saving Keystrokes that can be purchased on the internet that of great help for some commonly used phrases and words. I did find this website for downloading shortcuts, but I have not actually gone in and done it so not sure what is there, but probably not much for medical shortcuts I just typed in autocorrect shortcut in the address box and there are several sites you might check also.

You can figure out from each of your doctors what they use a lot and make your own, and put them in autocorrect perhaps under the doctor's ID number and then something you will remember.
Most of these shortcuts are your personal phrases and what your doctors use on a regular basis, so will have to be done individually and in ways that you remember.
I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut
to type the date, 10/13/05, using the microsoft word 97 program. I'm sure I read somewhere that there is one.
thanks to all for shortcut ideas
This is wonderful. Thanks to all of you for sharing. I really appreciate and will pass it on to my friends as well.
Shortcut programs?
Which shortcut program is easier to use? Shortcut for Windows, Smartype, or InstanText? I need to start building a good shortcut list so I can build up my line count?
RE: Shortcut programs
I really like Shortcut. I just upped my version.
shortcut question
I am using a trial version of shortcut. I have added shortcuts to a file, but when I pull them up the first letter is duplicated -- for example. tpt -- the patient -- comes out tthe patient. Anyone dealt with this? I have e-mailed tech support but no response yet.
shortcut or shorthand? I know there's
a little incapatability with ShortHand and activewords. If it is shorthand, then you have to install a specific version of activewords to use shorthand. Here's the link for that
http://www.activewords.com/downloads/AWPlus695.exe
If it's shortcut, sorry, I don't know what the fix might be.
Suggestions for a shortcut for with....
Silly, I know. I just can't seem to come up with a good one. I already us "wi" for "within". Thanks for any input!
Is there another shortcut program
that you are working with inside Word? Because that may override your autocorrect entries, I found out the hard way using esp and then adding autocorrect because it is the better program
I've never used shortcut,....
only Instant Text, but have used it for over 7 years and love it.
Need help with Shorthand and Shortcut
Can someone tell me how to convert my ShortHand File to my Shortcut for windows. Thanks!!
ShortHand Shortcut
do you want to create a shortcut on your desktop for ShortHand? if so, use your start button and find your ShortHand program on "All Programs," then right click the ShortHand program and select "create shortcut."
or you can find the shorthand.exe using the "my computer" button on your desktop and right click from there and create a shortcut.
hope this helps!
How did you get Shortcut to work in DQS?
Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but I'm wondering about Shortcut. Did you have it imported into DQS to make it work? I've been trying to find an Expander that I can use in DQS. How did you do it? TYI!
bayscribe re yo shortcut
On status screen, bottom right is link for transcription manual. On next menu, click bayscribe manual and scroll down to word Expander tips and tricks...an exerpt:
Word Expander Tips and Tricks
One handy definition that you can create is one that will easily expand to, for instance, "11-year-old". To do this, create an expansion with the ShortHand of yo. Then in the With: box type Ctrl-Backspace followed by -year-old. To activate this expansion, just type any number followed by a space, yo, space. For instance, "11 yo" will expand to "11-year-old ". Backspace characters show up as dark vertical lines in the With: b
question for those who use ShortCut
Does it also offer a "suggestion window" like Shorthand...like a preview window to see that the expansions are as you type?
Your question about ShortCut
Not really sure what you mean about a preview window, however, if you maximize your ShortCut program you can see what abbreviations you have created. I have used this program for years and find it to be extremely user friendly.
can u explain your shortcut to me...
like i'm a 6-year-old because either your quotes are freaking my eyes out or i'm just too dense. i'm trying to speed myself up and i can't get what you are saying, plus how do you "name" that shortcut for example?
word shortcut for date? NM

They also recommend ShortCut for Windows. nm
