Extext problems in Ctrl-S

In Reply to: ExText Problems every day. Need some expert advice - Getting older
Here's my solution. I had problems with Ctrl-S too for a while and this cleared up my problem. When I have the split screen, I too make the "Read Only" file the full screen. I also make the report I am working on full screen. I Alt-Tab between the two reports to use the Read Only report as long as I need it. When I am done with it, I then close it out using File>Close. This leaves Ctrl-S open in the background, by the way. That way, if I need a different Read Only (View) report by the doctor I am working on, I don't have to input anything again, just do Ctrl-S and it takes me back to the screen where I have reports to choose from for that dictator. Once I have what I need, at Ctrl-S I can then click on "Close" to get out of Ctrl-S and go back into my current report. This took care of any problems I had with Extext and Ctrl-S. You wouldn't believe what the "Help" desk had me going through to try to correct this....uninstalling and installing my Word, also, and doing updates and all kinds of things. This took care of my problem, which was that after I would use Ctrl-S and left it, from that point on I could never automatically get a report and/or it wouldn't Ctrl-N a report. Hope this helps, too, although the other poster's soluton works too. Just thought I'd offer an alternative.

When bringing up old documents in Extext, Ctrl S,
I think I missed a step. I hit ctrl S, put in patient's name (in this case) and then click find, or quick find. Then, it brings up a list of the patient's admission. Then, what do I hit to bring up the document? The options on the right side are statistics and close? I tried to highlight and double click the admission but nothing. Need some help here....Thanks
Ctrl/T is for terminating a job. What are you hitting those keys for while you're working? ExText
s
Gotta ask your tech. Ctrl/T in ExText terminates the document you're in w/o saving it. nm
s
if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V
nm
Select text, Ctrl-C copies, Ctrl-V pastes...nm
x
Ctrl + W or Ctrl + F4 prompts to save and close documents
without closing Word. Ctrl + N opens a new document.
You're hitting Alt+Ctrl+S. Hit Alt+Ctrl+C to get back.
x
...functions should be there. Ctrl+N to send, Ctrl + I for line
f
Instead of Ctrl+Ctrl+Insert, try
Ctrl+Insert+Insert. See if that works. Mark the word-phrase that you want to insert first. Let me know.
It IS ExText, Word is simply the word proccessor used. ExText is marketed
by Dictaphone with Transnet and ESP is the expansion software incorporated into it. I used this platform when I worked for the hospital. I believe Wordclient is the speech recognition portion of this platform.
{@KEY Ctrl+B}
nm
she did say Ctrl/S also, which...
searches for a document for a particular patient, then after looking at the document searched for, Ctrl/T would end THAT document w/o saving any changes that may have been made while viewing document...does this make sense? Perhaps that is why she would use Ctrl/T...
Just CTRL+K sm
then it says "the next key you type" the CTRL+B, your entry, then CTRL+B to remove bolding at then end. Why use tags?
I think it's Ctrl + J
Works for me.
Try ALT+CTRL+R or ALT+CTRL+P nm
.
Unfortunately, once CTRL CTRL
stops working for me, I'm unable to load any more shortcuts until I go out of the program and go back in. Weird.
At MQ with DQS, you can Ctrl X, but I don't know
nm
Ctrl-S
brings up a screen, and you fill in the field or fields you want to be searched. For instance, if I want to search for reports done by Dr. Smith, I put smith into provider last name and click find(?). Then a list of reports by Dr. Smith will display, and you can choose one to look at. It opens this document up in a separate Extext document than the one you are working on. Then you can copy and paste what you need into document you are working on or just read through it, etc.
You have to remember to close the search document before you close current Extext document because it messes something up which I can't remember right now!
ctrl x
never worked for me. I highlight text, right click, choose cut and then paste where I want it.
I have never used ctrl-T
I click on the little x in the upper right corner to close, not the big red one. This will just close that document and return you to working document. I have never been kicked out using it.
ctrl/k ctrl/b OK
nm
ctrl/k ctrl/b OK
nm
Ctrl-A & ESP
Our physicians list is sortable by specialty (we have a newer version), so it is logical to conclude that if the list is printable it can be done that way.
Good idea about ESP to desktop. Thanks!
I believe it's ctrl+T and not alt+T
to enable/disable the expander.
Did you transfer the Expander from Word or build it from scratch? Did the expander once work, then quit? Or is this your very first use of Bayscribe?
I can hit Esc or use Ctrl/X, too, to stop it. nm

Looks like e + Ctrl + ' (apostrophe). nm

Usng Ctrl I
 I have a question about this -- it is disabled where I work. However, I have been told I can use an ExText feature to go back to any date and see my jobs listed there. Would this be just as effective as using Ctrl I? My lines are terribly low too, as well as others with whom I work on this account. Funny thing is, it has happened a couple of times that I have done a job and then a little while later gotten the exact same job back again as though it was never done. I check my "list" like they told me to do and it is not there. I've mentioned this to my supervisor and they don't seem to care. But the did tell me to check my list every day and let them know if it is wrong. Is this how they cheat us out of lines????
Got it - Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow
xx
hit Ctrl/K, hit Backspace, hit Okay
nm
Try ctrl-Z and see if that takes it away.
Meanwhile, i'll research it. :)
Ctrl+Enter
I mean, ctrl k backspace OK
nm
Just hit Ctrl Z and you'll get back what you
z
Where in the Help menu did you find the ctrl k tip?
xx
Ctrl+ F and search each page nm
nm
Might have to do Ctrl + K and then Alt + B and your entry, then turn off.
s
Ctrl + Alt + A also stops expanding.
nm
Ctrl K in order to add items to your sm
expansion (in the "text to type" box), such as bold, underline, enter. Don't forget to use the ctrl K and whatever "function" key you used to turn on the function, to turn it off again. For example, Ctrl K, then Ctrl B turns on the bold function, but it will need to be turned off by the same method after you type "HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:" in the text to type box when initially creating your expansion.
hth!
Isn't there Okay or Accept, etc. at the top on the right at the Ctrl/J window? Need to do that af
d
Wherever you want the field, do ctrl F9. Once you have all the fields....sm
in you do F11 to "jump" to each field. Makes life a lot easier.
I thought it was Ctrl/X or the Escape key,
s
CTRL + spacebar is the other option
I have relase 8.7 and you can prevent a keyword from being replaced by pressing Esc or Ctrl+Space. So if you did not want RA to be replaced with rheumatoid arthrits, you would type RA and press CTRL + spacebar, and it does not expand. It works for me.
ctrl/K, Backspace, Ok, then put -year-old
nm
You can do CTRL-N as mentioned. I just delete.
After report is typed, I run spellcheck - CTRL-O (not zero).
Then I CTRL-TAB to get to Express Scribe, then CTRL-Delete to delete the highlighted voice file. Message says do you want to delete, yes.
Then CTRL-TAB back to report and F12 to send. It sounds like a lot of steps, but it takes no time at all.
I like doing it this way because there's no way to mix the voice file with the next template that downloads immediately after sending other report. When the next template comes in, it brings the voice file.
Basically the steps are: Type, spell check, delete voice file, send report.
Type this {@KEY Ctrl+B} before and after whatever you want bolded. nm
nm
Add fields with Ctrl + F9 and jump to them with F11. sm
Shift + F11 will take you back to a previous field.
F12 is the shortcut for opening SaveAs.
ctrl+space will prevent expansion.
Ctrl+E centers the line or whole paragraph. nm
xx
I find Ctrl/X stops the expansion. nm
s
MediTech Spellchecker is Ctrl+F1, not Shift+F1
Do it so automatically hard to remember (also, not enough coffee yet!). Sorry.
Unless there's another work type to choose with Ctrl/W, I
