Does anyone know if ShortHand can be set up to insert superscripts and subscripts? I imported all of my Autocorrect entries from Word, but it wouldn't import the formatted text. For example, can ShortHand be set up to convert the "c" in A1c to subscript? I really appreciate any help on this!

Losr wp5.1 when XP installed sm
I always kept WP5.2 for DOS in case a client had a moldly oldy and I truly enjoyed having it on hand. When my new tower came in, I realized that WP5.1 was, of course, gone for good, as the tech gave me a new tower with XP. I have the diskettes and wonder if I did have an old WP5.1 job come in, is it possible to install with XP or is DOS necessary and is it gone forever? Love WP5.1, made me lots of money in this field, it was my "buddy" and I feel I lost a good friend. Crazy? Yes!!
I have installed it at least 3 times
due to computer problems where I've had to dump my hard drive and reinstall everything.
I don't know if you are talking about disks that you bought or disks that came with a new computer.
Gee, don't know :o(. Have you installed all drivers?
I don't have an Ativa. I wish I could help!

I have never had any problems, I have it installed on 3 computers,
I don't have the current version on my laptop as yet (don't use my old computer anymore, would if the other 2 died though....kids have it for playing CD programs, etc. But never had any problems with downloading, installing, etc.
MTStars spellcheck help - I just installed it and
do not see the "checkmark" button at the top with my other browser buttons. How do I access the spellcheck? It is installed and shows as a program on my list of programs. Help!!!!
I'm assuming you installed the software that came with?
If so, and don't laugh, did you try rebooting? I always do that first before I worry about any computer issues. If it doesn't take care of it then go back and make sure you followed the installation steps exactly. Is it the Mircrosoft Natural Ergonomic 4000? I have that and it's great...only thing I could complain about is it's rather wide, so when I do need to use my mouse, my arm has to reach a little farther, which isn't good ergonomically, but I do everything I can to avoid using the mouse anyway...oops, I digress! Good luck with your keyboard!
If it has never been installed on another machine, then you are fine. sm
I have bought OEM software off or Ebay, came with registration numbers never used, and it was fine. I was able to register and access support.
It you purchase a new pc, it may not come with Vista installed. However, sm
it most certainty will be "Vista ready," meaning, you will have all the specs you need to perform the upgrade.
Word 2007 installed and...
I lost my Stedman's and all of my auto corrects, but everything else seemed to be alright :)
I had to reinstall Stedman's and thank goodness I backed everything up so I had my auto corrects!!
I use the free one; not installed or paid for
I think the free (run-it-when-you-need-it) is great! Sure, the real-time protection and monitoring would be great, but I'm on a budget, and I can run their free version as often as I would like (takes about 2 hours, so usually right before I go to bed) and it finds all kinds of alleged 'problems' and I tell it to fix them, and it does. Sure seems to have been helping me, but it could be that in combination with all the other things I'm trying.
My husband tried the 'free trial' on his laptop that you actually download for real-time coverage, and it apparently REALLY bogged his computer down (so he says) and he had to take it off within a couple of days.
Any help?
I use IT. I highly recommend you have it installed.
date element in Meditech is F6, I think. Press F keys all the way. Then, try alt and the F keys all the way down and then control and F keys to see what their functions are. You can jot them down on paper and make it into a toolbar by taping it to the keyboard. Now that I think of it, if you have a Help Desk, they may have a copy of the F key functions to send you.
And also, you will need a speed typing engine which will be well worth the money.
It won't work. Stedman's has to be installed from
the disks. You can't even copy it a flash drive and then try to install it on another computer.
how would one find out if there was a keylogger program installed(sm)

I'm confused...have you installed Bytescribe/Docshuttle more than 3x?
If so, how did you manage this?
Not true - I used OEM software and installed on 3 computers. nm

I am wondering if I purchase a new computer with this installed will it be

SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.

{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.

I've installed countless corporate networks...
This was my profession for years. They are secure. Wireless, wired, however. They are secure. More secure than residential by a long shot. Static IP's, WEP's, encryption, etc. It has nothing to do with it being a "public connection". You or I cannot "grab" the wireless waves out of the air. It has to do with the security set in place in the firewalls, modems, routers, etc. Not trying to be a smarty, just letting you know from experience.
Norton 360 was installed, I did a full scan, and it found nothing...MUST SM
I downloaded Malwarebytes and it found 12 critical trojans!! As soon as I find a good AV program, I'm totally uninstalling Norton's. Like you, I thought Norton was great and used it for years. Maybe it's just not keeping up with all the techno-creeps out there that have nothing better to do destroy the PCs of working people. UGH!!
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for

printers or fax printer, making sure the printer you are using has a "check mark" next to it. Right click on the printer that has a check next to it (if there are more than 1 listed), click on Properties. Under General, click on Print Test Page. If there is an error, it usually will list the problem and and offer you the option to use Repair. Additionally, you may want to check your connections to be sure they are secure.
I didn't have trouble when I installed, but it doesn't work well with Internet Exploer 7. sm
I have had to uninstall IE 7 due to script errors and such. Works great with the IE 6 though. 
If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
If it's installed, click or F10 to open it, click on...sm
the little white piece of paper icon to bring up the window where you ADD your new entries to, type your abbreviation in the Keyword box, then drop down to the Text to Type box and put in what you need it to say, then click Okay. You're done! If you want to delete your entry, arrow down to it, then click on the Trash Can icon. It'll ask if you want to put it on the clipboard, say yes and hit okay. If you want to modify it, use the little hand on the piece of paper icon. I like to click on the Disk icon to save stuff once I enter it, too, as a backup. If you're working and want to enter a paragraph or a page, you'll hightlight your stuff, bring up the ADD window, copy and paste it into the Text to Type area using the commands on the bottom of that box, name it, and hit okay. To use hot keys and stuff, you'll have to read the instructions in the help file. Good luck! ..nm
Shorthand ? sm
Is Shorthand compatible with and is it much different than the standard autocorrect in Word?
I use Shorthand with DQS
It is very compatible. You can set it up so that you can see a hint window while you type. I tried using the built in Expander in DQS, and you have to have a great memory, because there is no hint window or suggestion window, like Smartype. I also know that Instant Text is compatible with DQS, also; but I prefer Shorthand. I hear so many great things about Smartype and wish I could learn it, but it won't work with DQS; however, there is a way you can get around that. You can use Smartype and transcribe in Word, set your font size to 14 and save your file in Rich Text Format, then copy and paste into the DQS platform. Then select all and hit Ctrl 5 to get the spacing right. It sounds like a lot of steps and you will also lose your place as far as leaving any QA markers, so I personally don't care for the hassle, but I know of some MTs that do it that way, so you can try it.
Hope this helps.

cool, i'll look into that thanks
Shorthand SM
Shorthand should work with ChartScript, since ChartScript uses Microsoft Word, but you would want to disable ChartScript's built in expander. If you are referring to ChartScript.net, Shorthand should work in that too.

Wow! Thanks! I had asked that question a little while ago on the production board.

Where did you find a free program? Did it load right into Word for Windows?
Shorthand
The Hospital I came from uses Meditech with Shorthand-, works fine. There is something built into Meditech like a word Expander but everyones stuff mixes in together and was a nightmare- love shorthand.
Shorthand
I would be very interested.

I use ShortHand with Meditech. Works great....
In Shorthand, there must be (sm)
a shortcut key or something that allows you to add on the fly?? The only thing I see is to actually open the ShortHand window then I can click the insert button on my keyboard or click on the little "add" icon. Is there a key combination for doing this while I am in the document - to just bring that "add" window up?
I use Shorthand. nm

Shorthand
Is there a way to copy text with bold headers into shorthand, bold headers and all? The text copies fine but I have to go back and use the special keys for adding the bold back in at every header because the bold from the finished text will not carry over. I've gone through the help section but maybe I'm not asking "how to" the right way. It just seems that my old version of SH carried everything over, but I can't remember. Anyhow, if anyone has the answer, would appreciate it.
Shorthand
No, you hit Ctrl K and B before the entry, type the entry how you want it, and then hit Ctrl K and B again to toggle the bolding off. It will come up with a little window showing you the B is the next key typed or something to that effect, and you click 'OK' both times that window comes up.
Shorthand
If you need everything in CAPS use CAPS Lock. If you only want the first letter of the sentence just do as you would for a regular sentence by holding down the Shift key and type the first letter whatever it may be. It will bring up your expansion with the first letter only capitalized.
Need help w/Shorthand 9
I downloaded the 30-day trial of Shorthand. I cannot figure out how to bold a word in MSWord. Every time I try to input CTL+B into the expansion, the program puts the - {@KEY - or something like that. I have read and tried everything I could find in the Help section with no luck. Can someone type out what I need to input to get a word capitalized and bolded. I would really, really appreciate the help. I am thinking it must be something super easy that I am just not getting! TIA
I really like Shorthand
I worked for MQ and liked the expansion program. With my new company I have Shorthand. I really like it. You can try it out for a 30-day period and see if you like it before you buy it.
Shorthand!
Is there a way you can import addresses into ShortHand all at once, instead of one by one?
Thanks in advance!
Shorthand
There is an AWESOME board you can join that will help also. It is productivity talk, and it is at http://www.productivitytalk.com/
It will not only help you with ShortHand but also with Instant Text, Smartype (sp?) and MS Word.
shorthand help
Does anyone know how to add to ShortHand the following: PLa then subscript the #2 in font of 8 instead of 12. It is annoying to keep going to font size and then to subscript and then back to font size and then back to no subscript. I am looking for an easy fix, any help?
