{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and

;py= -pack-year

other MT message boards
 I was just wondering how many of you go to other MT message boards and if this is your favorite. I have lots of them posted on my favorites but this is the only one I check every day. Once in a while I might check the others but I'm usually bored after a few minutes. How about the rest of you?
staying away from message boards
Two years into MT I found message boards. I had some small complaints about my job and was kind of in a love/hate stage of my relationship with MT. Reading the boards with people complaining so much really put me more in that frame of mind to the point where I started hating my company and hating transcription in general. When I left the job I had at the time and started a new one I vowed no more message boards because I felt they had poisoned my attitude, which was easily influenced at that time. I stayed completely off message boards for the next five years and now am back (obviously), but that gave me enough time to get more established with my company and actually know and like my career enough that reading a lot of MT complaints doesn't bother me now.
I think it's because most of the ones who post to the message boards
.
FYI on links from message boards
Please be careful when opening links from anyone on the MT boards. I had a word question and posted it to XXXXX (this is the board that the company I work for prefers us to use). Instead of answering my question, someone posted to look at the link that they listed. This link had the answer to my question, but it also transmitted spyware/problem to my computer. Just a warning, especially for new MTs - I had to learn the hard way - and am going back to my books instead of searching the internet or message boards for answers to my questions. 
This is why I basically stay away from the message boards :(

They find it more productive to complain on anonymous message boards
I don't get it either.
Supervisors aren't reachable through anonymous message boards. You have to actually write them or
call them at work.
Shorthand works.
email me if you need any more info
ShortHand works just like that. $100. And you can try it out first.

Shorthand works wonderfully with DQS
xx
Shorthand, I believe works in all Windows
programs. It works in my email, etc. so should work in Works also
I use Shorthand. It works great in there. sm
The Scribe platform is easy to use once you are used to it. My lines have doubled in the past two months. I use Shorthand for EVERYTHING.
Go to www.pcShorthand.com. There is a trial version.
Shorthand is by far the best expander and works with everything. nm

ShortHand is up to version 9, at least, now, as it's what I have. Maybe v.10 is in the works?? nm
s
Shorthand works with Mysis
Haven't tried any others but I use SH with it.
Yes, Shorthand works with Meditech.
I have only worked in one version of Meditech, Meditech Magic, and it is easy to use. There are other versions, though. I'm sure they are easy also.
Just make sure you get a list of what the function keys do in your version.
Shorthand works everywhere in Windows.
Can't speak for that platform specifically... but ShortHand for Windows works everywhere, including e-mail, instant messaging, and every other place that you type. They even have a 30-day free trial so you can download and test it out before laying out the $$.
Everyone has to do what works for them.....end of message cut off above.

Try opening up ShortHand before log in. Works with other systems like that. nm
s
FlashType works just like ShortHand except is cheaper.
t
Use ExText for 1 job. Love it! Works with my ShortHand. Wish they all used it! nm

I use ShortHand with my ExText. Works great! nm

MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and is $59.95.
see link below
Shorthand works with every program, it works outside the program you use, does not interfere.

Bolding with Shorthand keep getting pop-up message
Maybe one more time, Everytime I try the control K, I get a pop-up message saying next key typed will be assigned to the shortcut and an x cancel. Very annoying to not be able to do the bold with the Shorthand.
Tried the other suggestion and that is what is in the instructions, but not working for me.
Any other suggestions?
TIA again.
First message not clear re: shorthand
It takes a long time for the word to expand. There. That sounds better.
Shorthand works great with DQS and is half the price
xx
Try FlashType, it works just like Shorthand but is half the price.
see link below
It is an older DOS-type environment - works well with Shorthand. sm
Lots of menus, especially in radiology, but ShortHand helps you get through them very quickly is you write macros to just stop where you need to.
It can be very productive with good line counts if you are paid by the line.
Personally, I loved it, but that was because I did very well with our incentive program on it.
MTStars FlashType works just like Shorthand and costs less.
It also works on Vista. See link below.
FlashType works much like Shorthand, is cheaper, & significantly increases your

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.
FlashType is cheaper and works equally as well as Shorthand and has a free demo.

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

You can download Shorthand, choose the "capitalize first letter" option. SH works with ExText
nm
I am sorry. I meant boards not broads. Now those darn boards have disappeared again.

I have never found a program shorthand does not work with, it works outside the program (I think tha

Shorthand works for Radnet. I love Radnet BTW! nm

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.
but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.

Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
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.
Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
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.
Venting-why do people keep putting nm and THEN writing a message?? nm means no message - sm
Please put sm if you have a message and NM if there is no message other than your subject line. It makes it easier when reading these messages. thanks so much and have a nice day everyone.
RIGHT!!! Someone who works 16 hours and someone who works 60 will have a HUGE difference. NM

small message. nm means no message
