Ctrl and the right arrow key goes to the next word *without* highlighting. You might want to read Shelly's original post again.

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.
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.
I don't use the mouse. I use Cntl+end key to highlight a sentence.Shift and the arrow key will do

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.
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.
Hold down Ctrl and Shift and use right arrow to highlight one word at a time. sm
You can highlight noncontiguous words by holding down on Ctrl and selecting different words.
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.
highlight the first word you want, hold the Ctrl key down, and highlight the next, etc. nm

Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most

Thanks, Shelly
That's great advice that I hadn't thought of. I have a lot of reference books, but the latest version in this specialty would be definitely be helpful!
Shelly Winters.
So sorry to hear of her death - what a great actress and huge talent - I feel like I've lost a family member. RIP Shelly!
OMG ... how can someone not know Shelly Winters? sm
Poseidon Adventure ...... old days ... A Patch of Blue (Sidney Poitier too) ..... she's an icon.
So sad to see her gone ... sigh
Shelly, I love your avatar! Cute!
Where is Shelly Hendrix..usually defends Spheris ROFL!!

ROFL - you are worse than mud on my shoe. Shelly Hendrix is one of the NICEST and KINDEST posters on
on this miserable forum. He is always willing to lend a hand, help out with a problem, or just plain old encouragement. He's a hard worker for more than 1 company, and he gives focused intelligent summations of these companies. You are a disgrace of an MT to make fun of him here, ROFLOL. Go ahead and flame me back - you won't bother me at all, but you KNOW in your heart what a creep you are. You can hide from all of us, but not from your own soul. For shame.
You'll need a lab words book and maybe the Derm and Immunology Words..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.
You can also highlight the text you want
to change and hit Control K - same thing is something is already in all caps and you want to change it to either just an initial cap or to all lower case. It works like a toggle switch.
can't highlight text in ExText
Hi all. Today just started an acct that uses ExText/TransNet. I already have Word 2000 on my machine. (Their version of ExText says in 'about' that it is also 2000) When I get in a chart in ExText, I can't use my mouse anywhere on the document or even the vertical scroll bar to the right. I *can* use it on any of the menu items across the horizontal toolbar at the top of the document but CANNOT select bits of text to highlight and move around or copy/paste or whatever. Anyone else hear of this happening? I've seen some other posts here talking about versions of Word (2003?) being incompatible with ExText but I know someone else who is using ExText for the same account and who also already had pre-existing Word 2000 on their machine, with no problems. Is there a setting or something I need to toggle or untoggle or ......?? Any help would be very greatly appreciated, please email me. Thanks so much!

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.
I contract with several companies/doctors, and I highlight the...
discrepancy (bold it) as well as underline it. I also add a note at the bottom like this:
NOTE: Age discrepancy. (Or medication discrepancy, etc.).
If needed, I am more specific.
Every account I transcribe likes this approach, and my QA people have actually adopted this technique, requiring their other MTs to do this.
I know not every account will find this acceptable, but it's been working well for me for years now.
If you right click the folder, it should highlight it and give you
a drop down menue with the option to rename. Let me know if that helps...
Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd
edition). I never buy drug books anymore. Waist of money in my opinion. New drugs come out so often, it's best to use the web.
Type whatever word/phrase, bold, highlight, sm--
select Autocorrect, add.
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.
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.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

every question asked on here could be documented in some book. So? cant a question be asked?
x
hit left Shift key 3 times, then right Shift key 3 times -
nm
if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V
nm
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.
1st, 2nd, 3rd shift????
My husband is a correctional officer, and his 1st shift is considered 12 am - 8 am, 2nd is 8 am - 4 pm, and 3rd is 4 pm - 12 am. I get the impression that most MT companies consider 1st shift as day shift, 2nd as evening and 3rd as 12 am - morning hours. Can anyone clarify this for me? Thanks.
Just put another pot on for my 2nd shift of the day! nm

Shift F9

Shift F9...
Type is RAD this weekend and mine was shift F9, which will bring up menu with spell check selection, which will give an info window, return and then it will start. But as mentioned always be at the top of report or it will say "done" as it does not automatically start from top. If this does not work use your F1 Help menu to find it.
Third shift
I was just working third shift and my hours were 11 pm to 7:30 am. Another coworker who also works third shift works 9 pm to 5:30 am. I think it varies by company. I hated third shift. I guess others love it, I was not one of them. I was on it for a year and a half and never could adjust to it. I would think long and hard before taking another third shift position, because it is so hard to get off third shift. But, like I said, there are many others that love third shift.
3rd shift
When I was on that shift, I would get away from my desk, walk around a bit, wash my face and get another cup of coffee.
Try to take a nap right before your shift (sm)
if you can, say even 20 minutes. Track the times you get up in the morning (or during the day if you work 3rd shift). If you can sleep a little later, this will help by the end of the day. I like to snack while I work, but to stay awake, I can't eat a thing!
Shift+F9.

1st night on 3rd shift and still
but i started at 11 p.m., and notice that my line count for first hour was credited to yesterdays work. so -- is this just a fact of life for 3rd shifters?
Cherrypicking at end of shift
What about when you just have a little bit of time left on your shift and you want to shuffle through and pick up some short jobs instead of the 25-minute psych report or the long consult that will put you way over your shift?
9 CPL, incentives, shift, 65 CPL
with spaces. I live in the Pacific NW, company is on the east coast.
Shift Lead MT/QA
In this position currently at 15.00 per hour.
How do you adjust to a 3rd shift job? nm

split shift
split shifts are great! you will do much, much better if you split your 8 hours up by 4 and 4. Early in the day and then late evening are usually the best.
What exactly is a shift lead MT?
night shift
My life currently revolves around babysitting my 15 month old grandson all day, somedays he arrives at 5:30 a.m., others it is 7:00 a.m. stays with me anywhere until 2:00 to 5:00 pm. (his mom is in nursing school with somewhat irregular hours depending on her clinical days). I get on and transcribe from 7:00 p.m. until midnight or sometimes 1:00 a.m. five days a week. I absolutely force myself to take a one hour nap before my shift starts(never more than 1 hour). It helps so much. At first it was hard to do, but it really does help me stay awake and now it is almost natural to do it. Darken the room and keep away from the TV, unplug the phone. Of course, I can't live without caffeine either. Good luck with you new job/new shift
