I hate reading email in all caps sm

and everyone who emails me knows it. This is probably the only thing I get really rude about. I've been known to send it back to the sender with a note stating to type it properly,then I will read it. I had one person who consistently did this and I finally blocked the sender. She got the point in a hurry.

Shorthand users: When I need to transcribe in all caps and use my caps lock key my abbreviations.sm
are only lower case. Is there anyway I can use get my abbreviations to expand in upper case? The only way I can do it now is by holding down my shift key. Thanks for any help you can offer.
Love psych notes. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE,
HATE ER notes.
Can point in a direction but takes reading, re-reading sm
Goggle.com and enter various phrases to get articles and companies. I use a free doanload of ExpressScribe, yep, it is free. They have a number of various software things on their site to read and perhaps one will fit. The express Scribe is a piece of sotware to download, it is very simple and I like simple. You can listen and transcribe various voice file formats. You can use a wav pedal one is called a serial pedall and I think it is 9 pin and plugs in the back of PC and also another pedal I think a 15 pin wav pedal and goes in the USB port in front. However, you can also use it without a pedal and it works fine. You use a couple of key to stop, pause, rewind, I forget the key. There are a lot of pedals so don't just jump in. On this site you may benefit from emailing the company after reading and rereading, even if you don't understand. .

I hate those but I hate trauma notes on children even more sm
I used to work for a large hospital that saw a lot of children for various horrible things.
The very last one I did was a 12yo boy who had hung himself while his mother was at work. She thought he was in school. The doctor cried, I cried (as I usually did) and I just couldn't handle that anymore. That was the longest report I swear. Short in lines but the length was almost an hour. The doc didn't pause the machine, she cried, horrible gut wrenching sobs, and I did too, right along with her.

I don't understand. I didn't get email from MT Stars, I got email from offshore people
is what I'm talking about. I'm not a liar and take offense to your insinuation.
They can send an email that goes to all MTs in one shot. I think she just means a courtesy email
would be nice. MQ is not getting any easier. My account has been picked over thoroughly when it went on DQS by ASR and I get all the remains because they only have a core group doing ASR which I think is wrong because you get all the bad dictators and it would be nice to be acknowledged that at least you know the person you can discuss problems with as they crop up. This is a big one and we have no manager anymore and no one to discuss this with at all in my office so you just sit here very day doing this work and no way to vent to someone that could offer some suggestions on this and other issues that come up to help relieve some of the stress of working this way.
Just send an email to the email link inside the post.

caps
We're told that if the word replaces a person's name, such as the word Mom replaces the mom's actual name, then it should be capped. Wouldn't this then be true for a department name replacing a doctor's name? Or am I just confusing things more?
Caps after #
Mine hasn't done this for years in in word??? I've never found anything that corrects this.
all caps
After I have typed a word, is there a way to highlight it and convert it to all caps?
all caps
When I hit shift and F3, it capitalizes the first letter in the last word I typed. Mine must be a different version. However, I read an old thread that told how to change case in tools on the tool bar.
all caps
SUPER!! Thanks.
all caps or not?
Forgot to ask how it should be typed (cva or CVA) in the sentence above....cva region. Thanks
All caps, CVA. nm

Again, because you entered your email address, you CAN receive email from anyone, but THEY
e-mail address because it is not revealed when they send mail because we have spam protection in place. The only way they would know what your email address is, is if you reply to the email they send you. If you don't want to receive any email from anyone, simply do not enter your email address in the Email field.

I intended to email it- already email the mods to remove

Not through the MTStars email server. Your email address is NOT
visible to anyone. The only way your employer would know it is you is 1) if you respond when someone emails you, or 2) they recognize the way you write.
I buy it and use it and it is all caps on the package. nm
:
Oh, get over it. The caps on -- that's what was funny!
Still is!
Of course your question was serious. I don't have any info on that company.
I was just trying to give you a little hint about "yelling"!
Per AAMT BOS, don't have to use all caps SM
or mixed case for brand names, just the beginning cap is enough.
Caps and Shorthand
If you type the abbreviation in all caps, it will expand in all caps. If you just type the first letter of the abbreviation in caps, then it will expand with only the first letter of the first word in caps.
HTH
Always thought it was two caps also...nm

Two letter caps
Thanks guys. At least I feel better knowing that I have checked everything where I thought it should be. I actually went into autocorrect and typed in my own corrections so that if I accidently keep the shift key down (I dont know why I do it, but I seem to not be able to lift that finger up with the second letter) it will correct automatically.
I also feel like they should get input about thier program from typists so that we can give them feedback.
Thanks for all the suggestions. It helped alot. 
If I was yelling, it would be all caps.
I'll be sure to tell my chronically ill child to stop being ill so we can obtain more of a financial cushion.
Caps Toggle?
Is there a caps toggle keyboard command? In other words, is there a way to change mixed case to caps without typing it all over again? TIA!
is your caps lock on?
If so, it won't let you do anything in your expander.
Or try doing a copy and paste into your expander.
CAPS all the time
In the middle of transcribing an ER report, my keyboard/computer (??? not sure which), caused a problem where no matter what I did it would only do upper case...my caps lock was not on (no light indicating it was on) and sticky key function didn't work to get rid of it. I finally had to exit out of platform and then waited a few minutes and when I logged back on everything was fine. Has anyone ever had this happen to them. I am using ExText If you have had this happen to you, what did you do to get out of it?
Thanks for your help.
Need help with punctuation and caps
I have MS Word 2003. This program has always capitalized the first letter after a colon (:) and for some reason today it stopped. I cannot figure this out for the life of me. I have been in Tools, etc, and see nothing that addresses this problem. If anyone has had this problem and knows how to correct it, please enlighten me. LOL
TYIA
make sure your caps lock is not on...but..

Pry off the caps lock button.

set up a separate entry for that with all caps. that's what I do.

caps = you are yelling online *lol*
Anyone type their e-mails in all caps?
A co-worker sends the entire e-mail response in all caps regardless of the question. I was always told it meant shouting. If there is some other meaning please inform.

I agree that all caps=screaming .
I would try to politely let her know. That could save her from an embarassing situation in the future.
P.S. Caps above simply for emphasis ...
When I read over it again after the message posted the caps came off to me as being a little snotty, and that's not what I intended ... 
Please don't type in all caps, hard
to read and is considered screaming on the net.
Thanks all. I have to type diagnoses in all caps and the software does not allow me...sm
to block and capitalize so I have been looking for a way I can use my ShortHand abbreviations in all caps but from what I am understanding there probably is not a good way to do this other than holding down the Shift key while I transcribe which is what I have been doing or making separate entries as caps which is most likely too time consuming as I have thousands. Thanks for your input.
typing online in caps is equivalent to
SHOUTING
It is the ESP Expander with Dictaphone ExText--If you can believe it, it won't allow caps if you
Yes, that's right, Dictaphone's Expander that comes with ExtText won't allow anything that you use as an expansion come into the document capitalized.
So, when you type your abbreviation for ANY WORD you have in ESP, it will NEVER be capitalized, unless like in, say, 1925, you type the Shift key with it.
I hate this profession. I hate all these programs. THey NEVER take into account the MT. Cars following voice instructions? No problem. MP3 player that respond to your voice? No problem. Get Word to do simple things that it should do, like cap after periods, God, too much trouble. Let the "little girls," just deal with all the software problems day after day. Dictaphone--what a laugh. I worked on ExtText FIVE YEARS AGO-- ANd it still has the SAME fricking clumbsy program? Also, you have to do "Shift ?" to find informaion in fields. LIke give me a break. Give us a key to hit, like, I don't know, Search, that't be good. No, make us type Shift ?. Where do these people get off. Do they ever even type on these programs? Or talk to the people who use them.
MT is so antiquated when it comes to programming, it is a big joke. Anyone work for a company that gets the demographics and has fast, easy programming, let me know. TX
You need to press shift key and caps lock. You may
need to do it a couple of times. I transcribed for many years and never had a problem, but the last couple of years I have this happen about once a month. It isn't a malfunction of the keyboard - it is user error :).
Ctrl+Shift+A toggles all caps on and off

San Antonio; email me; I can give you email for MT sm
who is in San Antonio and may be able to help you.
I'm in Corpus.
Thanks! Maybe I'll remove the caps from Failure!! I do use all expanders
almost exactly as you have described! Its my account that specifically wants verbatim and NO canned text. They must "know" about that, and want to make sure they get their pennies worth out of the MTs!!
