This might be confusing but print it and try it one time.
I always felt when my hands are off keyboard I am not being productive so I rarely ever use my mouse. That said...I find it easiest to add mine by typing my normals or canned text whether it be a PE for one doctor or ROS or an entire report format. Start block at the section you want included by holding shift and cursor down. This will block section, or use mouse. Then ALT I A and X for autotext screen, type the short name and enter.
For instance a standard PE for Dr. J smith could be jsmithpe or his dictation number dr45pe. Autotext is the one that you key first 4-5 letters and it brings up window, you enter and there it is.
Or when you do block, ALT, I A and X. Shift and reverse tab x2 cursor left x2 and you are at AUTOCORRECT and then do ALT R to jump to replace box. I use this for abbreviations copdx would extend chronic obstr... that way if you type COPD abbrv form it will stay that way. COPDX will expand. Also if you type in report "Copdx" the first letter will be capitalized whereas "COPDX" will be in all caps and "copdx" will be all small letters.
Hope that helps some. Maybe not so confusing but easier to me once you learn the keystrokes.
