percentage to whatever you want. Then you have to do something in the document area -- such as pressing the spacebar and backspace -- so Word thinks you actually made a change to the template and answer yes to the message when you close it out. Every new document will open with your new zoom level.

That would tell you if the platform is making the changes to your Word and, if that's the case, talk to your platform tech support.
you need to change your properties of those file types to open with ES and not media player. sm
go to your folders by start, explore. find where you saved those files to. once you find a file, right click on it and click on properties. under the general tab, look down 3 lines to where it says open with and i bet it says media player. click change, find the express scribe program. make sure you check that box under there that says always use this program to open this type of file. then you can either right click again, click open with, select express scribe and it will automatically load in ES or you can hit the load button on ES, find where the file is saved, select and it loads it. if this doesn't work, email me.
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.
Set up your template to open in the zoom level you want. sm
Then you can record a macro and assign a hot key to change it back when you're finished with the report.

You can replace the 2007 Normal.dotm with your old normal.dot file. sm
Open the old normal.dot in Word and save as the new file format.
The easy way is to load the oldest version first and then upgrade.
Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Wrong. Just up Word, change to 150% and close.
Word will save that setting to your Normal template. Now, open a blank document and you will see that and subsequent documents will be at 150%. Problem solved.

You can take your normal.dot and .acl file with you.
Normal.dot holds your AutoText, macros, keyboard shortcuts, and formatted AutoCorrect entries. The .acl file holds your plain text AutoCorrect entries. Just be aware that you can wipe out somebody else's entries if you are not the only one using the computer.
You have to change the normal.dot template...sm
Here's the instructions from the Word Help files:
The Normal template (Normal template: A global template that you can use for any type of document. You can modify this template to change the default document formatting or content.) opens whenever you start Word, and it includes default styles, AutoText, macros, toolbars, and other customizations that determine the basic look of your document.
- On the File menu, click Open, and then navigate to C:Documents and Settingsuser nameApplication DataMicrosoftTemplates.
If no templates are listed in the Open dialog box, click the arrow next to the Files of type box, and then click Document Templates.
- Double-click the Normal.dot file to open it. To be certain that you're working in the default template, check to see that Normal.dot appears in the Word title bar.
- Make any changes you want, using the menus and dialog boxes just as you would to change default settings for a document, but remember that any changes you make to Normal.dot will be applied to documents that you create in the future.
- When you have finished, on the Standard toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.), click Save
![Button](http://office.microsoft.com/global/images/default.aspx?AssetID=ZA060446631033") .
Note If Normal.dot is renamed, damaged, or moved, Word automatically creates a new version (which uses the original default settings) the next time that you start Word. The new version will not include any customizations you made to the version that you renamed or moved.
Try opening the normal.dot and see if you can change it there. sm
Hide spelling/grammar errors in this document only affects the current document. Another place to look is the Language setting on the Tools menu. You may have it set to not check spelling.
Sounds like your normal.dot file
Easiest if you do a search for this file. After it is gone/renamed, it will create itself the next time you start Word. Have you ever gotten the message "your local normal.dot file is newer than the one on the server"? Always answer no to this.
It happens b/c your normal.dot file becomes corrupted.
There are two ways to deal with this. Either use a program specifically designed for speed typing (Instant Text, Smartype, etc.), or, if that's not an option, back up your normal.dot file each and every day. Email me if you want instructions on how to do the latter.
By the way, a speedtyping program (I highly recommend Instant Text) will serve you far better than the wimpy resources in Word (Auto Text and Auto Correct).
Try doing a search on your normal.dot file (sm)
If you have more than one of them, it could be conflicting and causing your Word to run slow. I rec'd an error msg about not having enough memory. My dearest friend spent hours helping me to figure this out. If that is the problem, you need to be sure to save one of them and delete the others. Before you delete anything, be sure to add a word into your autocorrects, save it, and then save that normal.dot so you do not lose all of your autocorrects. Hope this helps.
Saving your normal file...how do you do it?
Mine vanished and I am trying to rebuild it but I need to know how to save it before I shut down. TIA.
I believe you would need to make changes to the normal.dot file in Word.
There are two ways to do it. You can open up your existing normal.dot file and change your view to 200% and then save it. Or you can create a whole new normal.dot file with the settings you want, but if you do it this way, you have to find and delete the original normal.dot file.
Either way, every new document should be magnified to 200% and in whatever font you set the default as.

How do I get AutoCorrect/Text to do a backspace, i.e. {backspace}-year-old?
I use yo in my Shortcut and that can handle the backspace function but now I'm using a new platform and had to import my Expander BUT it won't import entries with {BACKSPACE}. I'm trying to put it into the AutoCorrect/Text but it won't take the command to backspace so now when I type yo it comes out looking like this: 35 -year-old and I have to manually go back and take out the extra space. When I try to enter the command exactly like in ShortCut, {BACKSPACE}-year-old, AutoText sticks it in EXACTLY like that.
 Is there a way to get it to do what I want???

I'm completely normal and met my normal husband online. sm
I also met casual dates online (read: real social dates, NOT sex hookups), and all were completely normal. I wasn't meeting who I wanted to meet in the other traditional ways (church, through friends, at work, etc) so I looked online and found someone whose sense of humor shined through in his writing, and that is who I eventually married after 2+ years of traditional dating. We are both college grads, gainfully employed, financially stable, non-perverted, normal people. BUT, I did have to sort through a LOT of personal ads, as there are certainly plenty of oddballs out there, as well, just like in the outside world. :-)
I meant "One space or two", not "l space or two" nm

zoom up/down
If you work in Word, you can make a shortcut.
I use zup (shortcut)
Command is
{Alt + V} ze 125 {enter}
The 125 can changed in your shortcut to whatever type is good for you.
You can reverse zup to zud or zoom down the same way, and changing the 125 to whatever lower font is good.
SM about zoom
I have a 19-inch screen. I work in Dictaphone EXText. My word document comes up in 100% view. It appears so tiny on my big screen. I make it zoom to 250%. The document then fits my screen perfectly; whereas when it was in 100% view mode, it only covered about 50% of my screen. I am trying to be without a mouse when working (but of course I use a mouse to surf the web), but with work, I am trying to just use all keyboard functions which would be more efficient with VR. The only way to make my view bigger before was by using my stupid mouse and to click on a drop-down menu....now the zoom feature is on my keyboard. Make sense? Love it.
Even 4.5 is too low. doctors do not change - they still hem and haw, change, change stuff along wit
It is just not enough for the work. Speech is great on the wrists but you are not just reading what is typed, you are making a lot of changes. I have a hard time doubling a lot of days with all the changes I have to make. Just my opinion.
Would increasing Zoom help for now?

Is there a way to create a macro for adjusting zoom?
In other words, if I want to adjust my zoom from 100% to 125% and then back to 100% before uploading without having to click view, zoom, etc, is there a way to create a shortcut to switch between zoom views? I just can't see well at 100%. I need glasses, obviously, but in the meantime I want to be able to see better without the strain to my eyes. Its just such a hassle to change zoom back and forth for every document, but we cannot upload them with the zoom at anything more or less than 100%.

Increasing the zoom view does not increase the font size.

Setting backspace for pedal
I have an older transcriber (DAC Model DA-125) and have had it for quite some time now. I moved my office over the weekend and had to unplug the machine. Well, my backspace has reset to practically nothing and I can't find my manual on how to reprogram the backspace. Is there anyone else out there using this phone and if so, how to do reprogram it for the backspace length?
Thanks so much for your help.

C-phone auto backspace - How to?
Does anyone know how to set/adjust auto backspace on a Dictaphone C-phone?
Thanks.
C-phone auto backspace
When I used the C-phone, I would press 9 to increase auto backspace and 8 to decrease it.
