Try ctrl+shift+left arrow to highlight the last word
then Alt + J to open AutoCorrect, type your Replace word, and tab to OK and hit the Enter key.

Make sure you don't have any extra spaces when you highlight.

highlight the first word you want, hold the Ctrl key down, and highlight the next, etc. nm

Shift right arrow - highlight the entire sentence and delete! Not sure there is a
ctrl key to do entire sentence, but I will look and get back to you.

Well - no. Shift arrow down will highlight my entire line and then delete.
Don't know what you are talking about - I never use F8 in Word.


In Word you can use shift - end to highlight to

If MS Word, you don't need to highlight first. Shift+F3 cycles through
change case even if you've already hit the spacebar.
Shift end will highlight the line, but you need F8, then hit period key to highlight full sentence,
You can use F8 and hit any letter or punctuation mark you want to go to. Hit the escape key to turn off F8.

Shift and arrow keys only highlight single characters.


if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V

Got it - Ctrl+Alt+Up Arrow

highlight the text and hit Ctrl Shft A or hit that key combo
before you type your text and hit it again when you're done. This works in any Word version.
One *does* need to use the Shift key to highlight words as Shelly asked. sm
Ctrl and the right arrow key goes to the next word *without* highlighting. You might want to read Shelly's original post again.
Hold down on the Ctrl key and scroll your mouse wheel.

f8 is called extend mode. I meant Shift right and left arrows only highlight characters. sm
You can find more help about extend mode in Word's help file.
Hold Shift and press F3 twice
F3 cycles through sentence case, uppercase, then all lowercase.
MediTech Spellchecker is Ctrl+F1, not Shift+F1

Do it so automatically hard to remember (also, not enough coffee yet!).  Sorry.


Ctrl+Shift+A toggles all caps on and off

You're welcome. BTW, you hit Ctrl+Shift+E when you turned that on. Hit it again to turn off.

Press Ctrl+Shift+8 or click on the pilcrow on the toolbar (looks like a backwards P). nm

Just hit Alt+Shift+left arrow on line 1 and it will go to the left margin. Otherwise,
you need to use a numbered list style to do it every time. Each version is different, but you may already have a numbered list style in yours that stays at the left margin. Just assign a keyboard shortcut to that style.
First highlight the text too add, then hit Ctrl+insert+insert..sm

All you need to do then is assign the shortcut name and hit alt+O or click on OK.


HTH


Highlight the text and hit Ctrl-insert-insert...
then all you have to do is type in what you want to use as the shortcut.
If in MS Word, sometimes hitting the "Undo" arrow (sm)
above can make something you didn't want go away. I've also discovered that if you are working online, like in email for example, hitting "Control" and the "Z" key at the same time works just like "undo". It's especially helpful for when you've just typed a long email, are just about to sign off, and you hit the wrong key and it DISAPPEARS! If you immediately STOP, don't touch anything else, and then hit "Control-Z", if you're online it SHOULD come back! :)
Green back arrow/forward arrow on toolbar. nm

You can still highlight your word and press Alt-T-A to... sm
get to the Autocorrect dialog box in 2007. Your highlighted text is already in the With box. Just type your abbreviation and tab to the OK button and hit Enter. A lot of the old shortcuts still work even though the menus are no longer on the ribbon.
Type whatever word/phrase, bold, highlight, sm--
select Autocorrect, add.
Just open glo file in Word, highlight all, then change case and save back
to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.
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.
At that time was trying to hold onto my job
and with the physician calling me at home, in a very intimidating manner, hostile, I just thought no way to keep my job there with his being the head of the plastic's department. When I took the evidence of the falsified record to the head of medical records, not once was I told to take it any further, no mention made of the different depts you named above, only told I could put in a note in the record stating I was saying the procedure not done. Oh, had I known at that time the steps I should have taken and I would have. When he would call he would always say Miss...., not from his office, from him personally from another hospital that was affiliated with the one where the surgery was done. I was not a MS Jones or Ms Smith but an unusual name and I know after all the months he waited to falsify the record, he knew exactly what he wanted to do.

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.
Arrow
What does the arrow mean in front of a post?
You probably hit Contol-Alt-down arrow. nm
 x
control alt up arrow
Hopefully should get you there. If not, keeping doing the control alt with the arrows and eventually it will turn the correct way. If it goes upside down, then do the control alt up arrow.
I also do VR but the arrow keys?
Maybe I am doing wrong but I do not use the arrow keys hardly at all. Why are you using these, are you supposed to? I think escription tells you not to use the mouse, well I hate to tell them but never have given that up. They say use hot keys, never have. Just too set in my ways to start at this late date. I never have any problems with arms, shoulders, on and on.
Arrow Keys
I use Dictaphone EXT and they told me not to use the mouse but to use the arrow keys to move around in the document.
Try hitting CONTROL and DOWN ARROW?NM
NM
or control and left or right arrow.
I did that several times! 
brain freeze. > what does this arrow mean? greater than? less than?

Will soon be working in Word for the first time sm

and I was going to use Shortcut, but do I need to?  Would the auto-correct feature of Word work just the same, or is there an advantage to using Shortcut?  I am an old PRD+ user, and am now using Bayscribe, which uses an Expander similar to PRD, so now am having to evaluate options.



Thanks for your input.


Need help on word board if anyone has time. nm

Extext highlight
It sounds like you might have toggled off your select function.  Press your shift bar and then try to select with your mouse to see if that works.
