How can I copy Word 2003 from one computer to the other. I want to have it on both computers. Thanks so much for your help.
Can I also use 1 monitor, 1 keyboard, 1 mouse and 2 hard drives, one being Vista and other being XP.
Thanks for your help.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.

How to copy shortcuts in shorthand...
Let me know if anyone has done this. My hard drive crashed and I had to download ShortHand from the website again to the new hard drive of course losing all my shortcuts. I have my old shorthand on another computer and I can't for the life of me remember how I did that? Any suggestions greatly appreciated. TIA
Are you asking how to copy your "old shorthand" to new HD?

How to copy a glossary to a new computer
I have a new computer with IT existing that I would like to update with the old computer's glossary, especially one. I figured out how to email it to myself, but am not sure exactly step by step how to get it to the new computer. I am not sure if I'd be replacing the old one or updating it. The old one also has some includes, so it gets confusing from there. At this point, I would be content just to have the main glossary...I think...Eeek. Can someone help please? Thanks! 
Here is the code. Just copy and paste it into your shorthand. (sm)
{@KEY BkSp}-year-old
I use "yo" for that. Also have "mo" for month-old since I do pediatrics.
The @KEY specifies ShortHand to make that keystroke within the code. It basically tells Shorthand to do a backspace after you use that shortcut.
Another example is bold.
{@KEY Ctrl+B}{@NOSPACE}
My shortcut for bold is "bo" and then I just continue typing. That way I don't lose my rhythm.
You can use Shorthand in ANY program, it works outside your program
I have never found a platform it did not work with and I have worked on several different versions of Meditech. Just start using it.
Can anyone explain how to copy macros & autotext to another computer?
I did this one time years ago and can't remember how I did it. Thank you!
How do you copy word sup dictionary entries to another computer?
anyone know by chance? Am going on the road with my laptop and would like to copy over my extensive sup Word dictionaries to my laptop for spell checking. Any help would be greatly appreaciated :D
This is a very basic computer skill/concept. You copy files to another drive using Explorer.
There are very detailed instructions in the Help files that accompany Windows. You can read those for more information.
Basically, you open Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer). Locate the files you want to copy, highlight and right mouse click. Choose Copy. Now, find the location where you want to copy these files (usually another drive like D: or H:, whereever the flash/jump/thumb drive is located) and paste the files there.
It is in the Shorthand program.
Open ShortHand and click on help.
It's a really good program. I use Shorthand with it.
Instant Text also works
Shorthand program with Citrex
I believe that Instant Text will work and it is an awesome program! I have been using it for about 7 years, really helps production and more.
Shorthand program question
I am using the trial version of the ShortHand program from pcshorthand.com. I have some long entries in there and it seems to take forever for it to go into my report. I sit and watch each sentence come onto the screen. Is there a better shorthand program? Where it just instantly pastes the entire text "BAM" instantly without having to stop and wait?
Also, maybe it just does it like this because it is a trial version????
Thanks!!!
shorthand program/bayscribe
I am having problems with this too. Did anyone resolve this? I turned of teh Bayscribe player, but how do you get ShortHand to start working>
Yep, in Shorthand & SpeedType since they are the same program.

Is Shorthand a "separate" program/not DQS?
It sounds that way, but just checking. Thanks.
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Have shorthand on 1 computer but need on another
Is it very hard to transfer/export or whatever the term is to get my ShortHand from the computer to my new Dell? I use it so much and would be lost without it. TIA.
Are you using Autotext, too? Macros? Why not get a program like Shorthand for your

Shorthand is great short cut program,
I wish you the best.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program.
SpeedType is just a different brand name and costs a whole lot more.
You cannot import into AutoText. You can copy your spf dictionary into Word and then you'll have to create the AutoText entries one by one.
Getting a new computer and need to transfer Shorthand...sm
among other things and really don't know how to go about it. I don't have an original ShortHand disk to reinstall the program on my new computer and of course I don't want to lose my zillions of abbreviations. Can anyone help please?
Go to your shorthand file on your computer sm
All dictionaries end in .spf. Find the dictionary you are looking for, and there you go. Either right-click to copy and paste it into your email or do it from the attach file option in your email.
Install Shorthand on the other computer, then ... sm
find the ShortHand folder in Windows Explorer on the first computer and copy your dictionaries ending with .spf and paste them in the Shorthand folder on the second computer.
Save yourself some $$ - Speedtype and Shorthand are the exact same program.

Get a decent word expansion program like PRD or Shorthand sm
autocorrect is very limited. If you want to make money, your really need a good expander.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Smartype only
works in MS Word.
Shorthand and Speedtype are the exact same program, just sold
under different brand names. ShortHand does have a trial version.
I have a computer program that is an alarm clock for this use nm

Transferring my ShortHand expander to another computer... Help!
I have gotten permission from my company that I can transfer my ShortHand abbreviation Expander to their computer. I have saved everything to CD. I had to downloaded the new ShortHand Program to the new computer. Someone care to give me step-by-step process. Thanks! I must be doing something wrong, as when I try the file conversion, it says "source and destination cannot be the same." I was saving from the CD to the program on the ShortHand file Programs on the C drive
Not on dial-up, but use ExText. I just keep my own Shorthand program open and minimized and use it

I use Shorthand for Windows and love it. I have found it works well with most every program. SM
I have used with Word and Word Perfect. I have used it with Meditech and Cerner. I have used it with RadNet and StarNavigator for Radiology. I can use it with my email applications and on the internet if I choose. If the Expander is open and running, you can use it with any and every window program you use.
I was really simple to learn to use too. Very user friendly.
I have heard of a program for Shorthand that has 90% of all sentences a doctor could use, does anybo

Can't you just reinstall the Spellex? If the program .exe file is on your computer you should be
able to reinstall, unless upgrading totally re-formatted your hard drive, which I presume is the case here (this is where backing up things comes in handy). Maybe you can contact your school and ask for a new copy? As for cheap and good, I doubt the two go hand in hand. I use Stedman's Spellchecker and love it. Maybe you can look on ebay and get a copy that way for not too much $. Good luck.
if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V

How do I transfer my Shorthand Version 9 entries from one computer to another? -sm

You should not be having that problem, Shorthand works "ouside any program." Contact Shorthan

What virus program/internet security do you use - always used Norton, but a computer tech told me

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.
Then you can paste it in a document.
It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.
It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
How do you copy your SH file to text - do you copy each dictionary separately? nm

Speedtype is also the exact same program as Shorthand, but Speedtype is a lot more expensive.
SpeedType AND ShortHand both come with a converter file that will import your AutoCorrect entries to either program. You do not have to pay Betsy to do that unless you flat can't figure out how to do it. It's not at all hard to do. Productivity Talk has posts that even tell you how to do it -- for FREE.
I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
PRD is a DOS program. I don't think it work with Word, a Window's program.

It will count everything if you go in the settings and program it to. Good program!
Sylcount is an awesome and accurate counting program also. That will count everything if you "tell it to".
I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
