Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
Use older version
Thanks Renee. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled so many different versions and none of them work. I tried to convert the .dss file using that convert program, I forget what it is called, it's free from NCH, but it wouldn't convert it. But I will try it again and let you know what happens. Thanks again for your ideas.
I have an older version of QuickLook so the
newer meds aren't included. I always go to RxList first, but lots of times find that even drugs that are a year old aren't included and I have to go to Google.
My version is an 8-SR2. I guess maybe that is older than yours? nm

older version Emdat Inscribe
after receiving the info on here, I decided that I wanted to KEEP Emdat Inscribe 4.3.202. (It can still be downloaded and my company has not told us to upgrade.) If I DO upgrade to the newest, which is 4.9 I think...are you saying that the Infinity pedal will work with the newest Emdat by configuring the pedal? I've done that in the past, but would you mind sending the process in case I do have to upgrade. I wish they'd leave things as they are.
I use Abacus; however, it is an older version. Don't know if it has been upgraded. It is free.

I love ST. Older Version Shortcut for SBlocks-sm
I have the original version too, not Stedmans. It is the easiest Expander to use. I have tried others and too much to remember. ST is as simple as it gets.
Anyway, for saving a SmartBlock, I highlight the text, then do ALT+Y+B. The save box opens, and I tab once to name it, then tab to put a description, then enter. It's saved.
I have normals saved like this. For example, I would name an H&P for Doctor Smith "hpsmith" - in ST, I only have to type "hpsm" and "hpsmith" comes on the SmartLine, hit enter, and it's on the screen.
If you picked the correct Word version at installation, if you pull up a blank Word page & do an inc

it is attached to your version of Word. Open Word and it'll be on your tool bar. NM

Sharing with older versions of Word.
There are some problems with sharing files with older versions of Word. Although there are ways to get around it, it sounds as if it might be a bit annoying. I am thinking about upgrading, and this came up in my research.
what version of Word do you have? Here's a link for Word 2002 -sm
This looks like a long and drawn out thing to do, but it's not that hard really.
When I did it, I checked and found that I had the support template already in the folder, so I was able to skip down to "Back up your AutoCorrect entries on source computer." It's named support.dot and is found here:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Macros
Just following the instructions closely, it was really easy.
If you don't have Word 2002, I think there are other methods avaialable.

Upgrade to Word 2007 vs older versions
I just bought a new PC with Vista operating system. Now I must buy Word to install. I looked at the differences between Word 2007 and the older versions on the Microsoft website and it seems that there is a difference in the way Word 2007 is saved compared to the older versions - you have to download a "patch" to be able to "read" older version Word files and for my clinic to be able to "read" my Word 2007 they will have to download a "patch" as well to enable their PC to open this document. I need some advice if this is a good idea or if I should just stick with an older version of Word. I have a copy of about 3 years old that I have not used and can load on my system. I would like to upgrade to the latest version as I know in a year or two the doctor's office would have changed but am wondering if the new version is a pain to work with or a pleasure. Anybody out there that can tell me the pros and cons between upgrading to the latest or just sticking to the old and familiar. I am also not sure if the doctor's office will download the patch and how accomodating they will be...
Difference in Word 2007 from older versions
I have a trial version of Word 2007 on my computer, and I really like its layout. It's not a fully functional version, so I can only try it out so much. Has anyone made the switch from the older versions of Word and liked it better? Has it improved your productivity in any way? Any problems with it? All feedback appreciated.
Thanks!

Which version of Word are you using?
If you are using Word 2003, I HIGHLY recommend you disable autocorrect and anything that would automatically insert anything based on an expansion system within Word. There is a known problem (on MS-Word's end) that these 2 programs compete for expansions and Word can lock up, causing you to lose up to your entire report. I've been in touch with several people trying to resolve this issue but it is on Microsoft's end, not Smartype. Any prior version of MS-Word does not have this issue. Just be sure you don't have the same expansions set up for both Word and Smartype. I loved my ST with Word 2000. I'm on a platform where I can no longer use ST but I am slowly importing all my entries into a different expansion program.

MS Word version
What version of MS Word are you using and do you have it and Windows (not VISTA--extext not compatible with Vista) upgraded? This should have been checked when tech support did original install for you but maybe they didn't check. Make sure your operating system has all upgrades it should and that MS Word has all the upgrades it should, too, then reboot, make sure nothing opens up or is open after you reboot. Then go to Windows Explorer, C drive, then docnet (these are your ExText Word Client folders). You are going to do a clean install, so delete the following folders and no others: Dump, offlinedoc, recovery, templates, transnet, workinggroup. If you delete the entire docnet folder you will delete all of extext and will NOT be able to reinstall, so only the folders above should be deleted. Reboot again. You also want to make sure you don't have any old temp files sitting on your hard drive; these can affect how your programs run. You can check this by doing a search on your C drive (assuming drive is C), for *.tmp. Make sure again that nothing is opened and delete those files. I would do this after deleting the above folders but before reinstalling Extext. Make sure nothing opens up again or is opened, and reinstall Extext again. This should clear things up for you, and if that doesn't work, I would definitely contact tech support. Extext is not supposed to work right if you open up Word first. Extext should be opening Word for you, sometimes you can get a runtime error if you exit from the VPN before extext has disconnected.
Even though you exit from Extext, and you should never exit using the X in the corner, it takes a few seconds for the last file to upload, so it is better to exit from extext, leave the vpn connected, check email or do somthing else and then disconnect the vpn. Also, if you were doing a control S to look at a document and left that document open, then control N'd your working document, and then tried to start a new document when the screen pops up, you will get a runtime error.
Not in my version of Word...?
I do not find "speller type" option/window where you are saying it should be - ?!  BTW, I have uninstalled Word Pro and gone back to plain old Word 2003.
You are using your version of Word. sm
Yes, your auto correct feature works and yes you scan use an Expander of your choice that is compatible with Word.

Which version of Word?
You can turn on auto numbering or you can assign a keyboard shortcut to a numbering style.
On my Word version it's this way
Try:
Word - Format - Autoformat - options - autoformat as you type - check box for numbering in that field.
What version of Word? sm
Try Ctrl + A to highlight the entire document if the template already has text in the document area only, then go to the Font dialog box and choose the font and size you want, then click on the Default button so it also changes the original template. If there is no text in the document area, just go to the Font dialog box at the beginning of the document and follow the same steps. I am assuming the original template is a .dot file. When you close the document, you will get a message asking if you want to save changes to the template. Be sure to check the yes box.

It depends on your version of Word.

You do not say which version of Word you are using but if you open--sm
File, Print, and in the box 'print what' click on the down arrow and choose key assignments. Sorry, I do not use templates much so maybe someone else can answer that, or go the 'help' and you may find the answer there. Hopes this helps
What Version of Word do you like? 2000 or?
I'm getting a new computer pretty soon and am wondering what version of Word to get with it. I am only familiar with Word 97 and I like some of the things about that.
I need a version that will automatically CAPITALIZE after a period. Couldn't live with that.
Thanks for all your help. Couldn't make it without my MT buddies!
Word version Autocorrect - thanks! (nm)

Sorry to confuse -- what version of Word are you using?

The version I use does not use my word autocorrect but has
its own. I have to turn mine off or they both come in at the same time with words within words.
I don't have a current version of Word, so I don't know if -- sm
...there's an option in the settings there, but I'm assuming it's taking one of the standard Windows sounds for that "ding" you're hearing (perhaps the sound Microsoft calls "Asterisk"?).
There are probably other methods, but you could try going into your Control Panel, then Sounds and Audio Devices, then the Sounds tab and change that Asterisk (or whatever it turns out to be -- you can listen to the sounds on that tab) to something more to your liking, or to No Sound. (Of course, that may prevent Windows from alerting you in whatever programs or routines may use that same Asterisk sound, but it would get rid of it, anyway.)
Depends on your version of Word. sm
With autonumbering turned on, Word 2000 and later will automatically indent your list. You cannot turn off the indent, however, you can press Alt + Shift + left arrow to demote the list to the left margin. You can also create your own numbered style with no indent.
Which one -- AutoCorrect or AutoText? Word version?

Does your Word version let you make Macros?
I have never been able to figure out how to do special format characters in ShortHand, but if your Word version allows you to make Macros, you can set up a Macro that will do the same thing as ShortHand. If your transcription platform does not accept Macros, you might still be able to “trick” it by then linking your ShortHand to your Word Macro. It works for me but every Word version and transcription platform is different, so you may have to play around a bit before you hit the right combination. If you need specific instructions to set up the Macro let me know. Good Luck. 
It depends on your version of Word. Which one are you working in
and which version of Windows? Later versions no longer include the WP5.1 filter but you can use the old one if you still have old installation CDs. You can also download the filter from the link below.
What version of Word? That can't be set in newer versions. I had to do a macro --sm
I hope this link works for you. It shows how to make the macro. I use alt + semicolon for it because it seemed those would be a convenient shortcut to use. H
Here's the link (you'll probably have to copy and paste it):

Every version of Word seems to do auto numbering differently. sm
The last two versions have a number list style that will keep numbers at the left margin and do the hanging indent automatically. Alt-Shift-left arrow will take your list back to the left margin if you don't use the style but want to use automatic numbering.
I am not the original poster, but would love to know how to do this. what version of word are you u

Word 2003 has been shown to be the glitchy version

No, the Works "Suite" has a full version of Word... sm
that is compatible. It's the plain Works version that usually comes installed on new computers that uses a different file format and is not compatible. You just have to be careful that you are buying the Suite.
Will the Stedman's work with that version of Word? You buy the basic program and then

What is the version of word for windows that works best for you? Still working off 2000.

No. EditScript works fine with my 2003 Word version. sm
It is ExText with Word 2000 that I am worried about interfering with my EditScript from eScription.
Sorry that happened to you. I have been running Word 2003 with eScription for about 4 years now. Everything works great!
Word hasn't capped after a colon since the 2000 version.
You have to manually cap with shift key or run a macro at the end of the report. You can also hit shift+f3 to change the case to upper.
Can you install Word 2003 separately or will it overwrite any previous version you have? Thx. nm

They're still at version 7 and version 8 is supposed to come out this Fall, which may be compatib
This is why I uploaded the 4.15 version. It's a previous version

If it's a retail version you can. If it's an OEM version, you can't.

Not only are you older (sm)
but you're wiser too! And, yes, you are hopelessly out of it. These poor kids are racking up so much debt with this silliness! Of course, the limited selection of appropriate clothing doesn't help either. I'd love nothing more than to go into the girls' section and find a pair of shorts that have more than two inches of fabric in the crotch! But that is another subject.....
since I am 18 (much older now)....sm
Sounds like you need to find a good one, #1, and #2, one who really specializes in the cervical spine (mine does - he does it all, but he really specialiizes in the head and neck).
Hope you feel better very soon!!!
