Using fields in Instant Text
If you are typing in MSWord you can create fields for the places where you want to fill in the different type of phrases using shortcuts.

Instant Text or SmarType?
Not sure what version of Word I am running - software loaded on computer when I bought it.
I like Smartype better than Instant Text.

expanders Smartype vs Instant Text
 Stuck in a rut!!!
Lost my 2-year word-expansion dictionary and am changing jobs. I noticed after my dictionary crashed and starting from scratch I was coming up with new abbreviations since I was in the mode of adding them back in. Think we can get stuck in a rut and not challenge ourselves sometimes. I have used Smartype in the past and loved it, but I am curious about Instant Text. Anyone ever try both??????
I just switched from Instant Text to Smartype & LOVE IT! sm
I don't know which Expander you are using at the moment, but I finally made the switch from Instant Text to Smartype and the only regret I have is not doing it sooner.
I know I'm in the minority, but Instant Text just had too many bells and whistles for me. IMO, the Smartype is much more user friendly AND my productivity has increased around 50 lines per hour!
Good luck!
Instant Text imports Smartype file with a few clicks
Another option would be to use Instant Text V Pro.
With a few clicks you can convert your Smartype files and blocks into an Instant Text glossary and use your Smartype abbreviations with Chartscript.

I do too.

I use Alt A to jump to the {} field, if I understand you correctly. Don't know that that will help you.
Smartype in WP or MS Word?
Hi, again,
My husband (and Resident Tech Support) just asked if when you converted from ST to SH you were using ST in WP or MS Word.
Smartype with MS Word
Smartype is not compatible with MS Word 2003. I used it for a very short time and it would freeze constantly or spontaneously backspace and erase my entire document. This wasn't an infrequent problem, this happened every two minutes. If you just purchased this, Stedmans may give you a refund if you contact Customer Service.
Smartype and Word
go to www.productivitytalk.com. I too am a Smartype user, though have not tried it with Word 2003 as of yet. I just googled your question and others are having this same problem. Check out the forum.
Smartype only works in DOS WP5.1 and MS-Word
and if you are trying to use Smartype in a cottage program that has stripped out some of Word's features, Smartype will behavior improperly or not at all. It will also behavior improperly in MS-Word 2003 due to a change Word made that is not compatible with Smartype. Last time I talked to Joe, Stedman was not making this fix a priority so I reinstalled MS-Word 2000 to avoid the conflict.
Smartype/Word 2003
There are no new fixes for that problem. If you call or E-mail Stedman's they will refund your money when you return the software. They know this is a problem. I have noticed that it only happens to me if I hit a combination of two hot keys. You could try turning off or not using those keys. I have found it to be the best solution as I am just more comfortable using Smartype. I tried other expanders, but just like Smartype better even with this problem.
Smartype/Word 2003
Not sure how to do that when I cannot get anything for Smartyupe to open--properties, settings, help, etc. I bought Smartype many years ago, from a different company, so not sure what to do. Thank you!
Smartype & Blocks in MS Word?
I have just started using Smartype with MS Word 2002. I have created blocks and saved them. Some of them work but others are not pulling into my documents when I type in the name of the blocks. When I try to readd them ST tells me that they are there so why aren't they pulling into my reports? Thanks for any help with this.
Could this be used to export Smartype into another word expander?
I am looking for a way to export my thousands of Smartype entries into other word expanders.
Smartype frozen--Word 2003
Aware of any new fixes for Smartype freezing in Word 2003? 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.
Anyone know how to transfer auto corrects from SmarType to word? please..nm

I use SmarType with Microsoft Office with Word 2003
I have had this problem and have even lost documents and was told by Microsoft that this is a Microsoft bug that they have no fix for. I called them and e-mailed and they said they are working on a fix. Can't give me a solution and no time frame of when they will have a patch.
Smartype should work in any word based platform - sm
If Emdat is a web based platform, then it won't work. Fighting that (on Chartscript) myself right now and hate it!
Smartype only works in specific Word versions.
You want an Expander that works in all programs and a lot of platforms, such as Instant Text or Shorthand.
WARNING...I wasn't so lucky trying to use Word 2003 and Smartype... SM
My system didn't just freeze up once in a while. I couldn't make it through one report without this happening. I finally researched the archives and found that there is actually a conflict between Word 2003 and the Smartype.
Anyway, I wanted to switch from Instant Text to Smartype so much that I actually uninstalled my entire Microsoft Office 2003 software package and purchased Word 2002. I haven't had a problem since.
MS Word Auto Text
I had inputed a bunch of my own "text expantion" into MS Word Auto Text and went in to work today and they are all gone. It is not the first time this has happened, and then you have to go and input back everything, which is a pain.
Has anyone else experienced this or know why it happens??
MS Word....anyone know how to get the text to appear bigger

Does anyone know how to make the text larger in Word?? TIA

larger text in Word - start by
to preview and select what suits you best. Toolbar should be showing at top of screen, pull down where is says what font type is in there. Otherwise, you can to either go to Tools to select the "formatting" toolbar, or go to View, then Font. Since my old eyes are going, I also choose the option to increase my page view to 150% (also on the toolbar at the top of your screen displaying some kind of number) by dropping down the menu (use the arrow next to it) and select the % that suits you best. Hope this helps.
Making text larger in Word
Ctrl+A to select all text, choose font size from format menu. Also make sure view is at 100%.

How could a dictionary/text or word expander..sm
compromise patient confidentiality? Just another ploy by MTSOs for control. Some of them think we are so dumb they would claim proprietary ownership to our underwear if they could get away with it.
MS Word 2003 auto text
I use Word 2003 with the platform that my company uses. I am able to save autocorrect entries, but whenever I save an autotext entry it is gone the next time I open Word. Is there some Word option I need to click that will enable my entries to be saved? It would save me so much time if this feature worked.
Auto Text too full-slow MS Word
Has anyone experienced having their Auto Text in MS Word so full that it slows down getting into and out of MS Word Program? This seems to be the problem, because when I accidentally deleted my "Auto Text" entries, my Word program worked fast again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Latest Instant Text revision 541 and MS Word
Has anyone noticed Word save and opening of new documents slow down since upgrading to IT Revision 541 or is it just me? I tried other things, such as clean disc, defrag, ran System File Check for Windows XP, and Registry Cleaner. These things helped speed up everything on my computer except Word, which would still be very slow to save and open a new document.
I uninstalled IT and reinstalled the older version and now Word is back to normal speed. Has anyone else experienced a slow down with the revision or is it just me? I also didn’t like how the new version linked with spelling and grammar check window in Word.
It's probably just me. I'm always having weird problems. I'm using Word 2002 (XP) by the way.
I just pull up in word and save as Rich Text File...nm

open a word document, under help type in auto text--sm

I use Word 2003 and I have text boxes I jump to using the F11 key. I have no idea what I did, but
using the F11 key, but I want to see the boxes where I enter the text.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Can I transfer instant text word list to autocorrect??
Hi all. Well I have a ton of entries stored in my Instant Text program. The problem is, that now that I am using Editscript version 8 instead of version 6, whenever I use my instant text program, it freezes up on me.. So I am just wondering, is there any way that I can transfer over my IT word lists over to autocorrect in microsoft word?? I think this is the only text Expander I can use with editscript 8. I really appreciate any help with this!!
Auto Text entries on word. Is there a way to copy these or print these? Thanks in advance. NM

Instant Text claims compatibility with all word-based programs
I have used it with Word, PowerScribe, ExText, and a program based on MS Office online, the name of which escapes me. Works great.
Maybe response too late but I use Emedat and use Instant Text w/o a problem, as far as using Word ma
do not run into any problems with the spellcheck. Add things as I go if they are not in there.
It is a Word 2003 problem, not a Smartype problem
I've spoken to countless tech support reps at several MT companies, spoken to J the original owner/developer of ST, and B who overhauled it for Stedman.
Microsoft made a change in Word 2003 that causes the problem you have described. I went back to using a previous version of Word to eliminate the problem. One of the real triggers is if you have Autotext and AutoCorrect active in Word. Disable both of those. Change your backup settings in Word to automatic save a report every 1-2 minutes so you can recover something if you do lose it.
Don't expect a fix in your lifetime. Stedman/SmarType can't get Microsoft to fix Word.
You can highlight the entire list and use the convert text to table option in Word. You can highligh
You'll want to convert with 4 columns because you have a paragraph between each address. That paragraph will wind up in the 4th column. When you're done, you can highlight that column and delete it.
It isn't a Smartype issue it is a Word issue
On the Word toolbar at the top, click on Tools, then Autocorrect, then check the box that says "capitalize first letter of sentence." That will do it for you.
Isn't it time to go to the fields?
Please Amish lady, go pick the pumpkins and the gourds, isn't it that time of year? Then hitch up your horse and buggy and take them down to Wal-Mart to try to sell them.
But there are lots of fields where you can come right out
what you get a degree in. Something like sociology, anthropology, etc. - no, probably not many jobs. Psychology you really need a graduate degree. Social work you can find jobs with a bachelor's but not that well paying, so would need a graduate degree.
But look at a lot of the medical professions - heck, nursing, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, medical technology (except they call it something else now), radiology, pharmacy, etc. etc. - all are BOOMING. Just gotta be smart about what you get your degree in.
Have not in MT field, but in other fields
and how many of us women are the sole support of our families? Many...
