without using the mouse?  I clicked on


add new entry  (still trying to figure out what the 'key' is that opens this so I don't have to use the mouse)


keyword/text to type/ and then there is an okay butten.  I am use to doing this same operation in autocorrect but without using the mouse (where i use the tab and enter key once I program it.) .  The O on the okay button is underlined but I can't seem to use the alt/o to have the program OKAY my new entry.  I am trying to read this help guide and I am really struggling.  I wish someone could write instructions that weren't in computer languange.  sigh.  Thanks once again

is every word you have in shorthand like that?

Shorthand word expander -
Tech board is down.  Need to know how to stop word from expanding.  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks
Shorthand ? When I type the word I the

first letter in the next word is capped.   There is no period so don't know why it caps.  Anyone know how to fix it. I'm new to ShortHand and I really HATE it.   My company offers a short class in it, but they want me to have more experience with it before I take the class. 


Word shortcuts to Shorthand -

I'm dreading if I need to start some 13 or 14,000 abbreviations all over again on another expander.  All you do is go in and out of a new Expander putting all your abbreviations in when you could be making money already. 


Know what I mean?


Is Shorthand the best word expander?

Shorthand users: Is there a way to type a word, use a slash and then type another word..sm

immediately following the slash and have it expand.  For example if I needed to transcribe mass/sebaceous cyst, is there a way to use my expanded sebaceous cyst without having to back space after I type the slash mark?  TIA

Thanks,

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.
Emdat users - is this Word-based and can you use ShortHand with it? sm

Does PC ShortHand work on Emdat or Word Client?
And if so how do I get it to work when using these platforms?
Need info on backing up Shorthand files. Also Word Autocorrect. TIA. nm

How do you get the shorthand word expander to work in 'word client'?
nt
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.
.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and

;yo = -year-old


;py= -pack-year


etc...


Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
AND - QA could not enter! Gee, thanks MQ.

How do you enter to win?
And where do we see the prizes?  Thanks
i enter the first 4 letters...sm
Every time I come to a drug I enter the first four letters of the drug in Autocorrect, capping it if needed.  I think this is quicker than sitting down and entering a bunch at once. 
You can only enter one time
for each giveaway, but if you have already won a prize you cannot enter anymore. That is what that means. You can absolutely enter for each prize, but in order for others to have a chance to win, you shouldn't enter if you have already won.
had to manually enter the big
anything that you save as a (I think it's called) SmartBlock (saves directly into a Word document), you have to move manually.  I only had about 20-30 of those, so I just did a cut and paste from the Word document directly into Shorthand.  I had to change some of the commands (like how to bold or indent).  You actually have to set those commands manually in Shorthand.  It's a bit confusing on those issues at first, but once you catch on to it, you can do, say, 5 a day, and it won't take too long.
That is what I was thinking, enter those
into autocorrect and you will never do it wrong again. I have a lot of words in there that are mistakes I usually make and it just corrects it for me. Good luck!
anyone know how to enter an entry for
-year-old where I don't have to backspace the expansion?
You don't have to hit the enter key for ths to happen.
It sounds like you highlighted the phrase and you also captured the end of paragraph mark (that was probably hidden), which will make the entry go down a line. Do it again and make sure you are only highlighting the words.

For those that use Vianeta, do you have to manually enter
all that info or is it imported?   Don't know how you'd make any money if you had to enter it all manually.  Reminds me of the antiquated YOG cottage program. 
For those who own hot tubs/jacuzzis.....please enter :)

Does anyone own a hot tub that they are crazy about and that didn't cost them an arm and a leg?  Any leads, ideas, references would be most appreciated :)


Thanks in advance!


My main reasons for looking to enter any job are:
First the ability to care for my family, which would mean money. Second, the ability to schedule around my children’s' needs.

But...I do like caring for people. I actually thrive in environments that are stressful and that I have to be on my toes. The drawback to nursing for me is the idea that someone's life is in my hands and that I could make a potentially fatal mistake.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying by not hitting enter twice...Ty for your help! nm

Autocorrect can't do that -- you'd have to enter it both ways.
xx
I think that is what she is saying enter it into autocorrect uncapped..sm
and capped in the change to box. Then autocorrect will change it in a document.
Meditech - Enter key will not work. Help!! sm
My enter key will not work with Meditech.  I have changed out keyboards, tried wireless, wired, et cetera.  I have had someone log in with my password and it works for them.  I have logged in with other passwords and it will not work.  Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.

FYI


trying to re-enter society and failing miserably
After 11 years at home minding my own business, having a fairly peaceful life, seeing people when I wanted to, not because I had to, i've become quite spoiled.  I find that when i'm around new people, (trying to go to school) i'm easily annoyed and have no sense of humor like I used to.  I've completely changed.  I feel like a stick in the mud judgemental person, but people laughing annoys me and makes me tighten up rather than join in like I used to.  I can't stay in my MT hole forever, but I feel like cousin IT amongst society now.  Will this get better???  I miss my old self!  I used to be FUN!
