Has anyone upgraded from W2000 to W2003? If so, did all your autocorrect entries and normals transfer easily? I would like to upgrade but don't want 2 lose my shortcuts and expanders! TIA

Is any one running ExText with Word 2000 and EditScript with Word 2003 sm
I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.
I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000. Has anyone done this or doing it now. If so, have you run into any problems.
I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company. I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription.
I am interested to hear any and all comments. Thank you so much in advance for any help!
Word 2003 or 2000 or 2002?
Hi y'all. I have to change from WOrd 97 to Word 2003 or 2000 or 2002?
Do y'all have a FAVORITE, and can you tell me WHY? Just a short email would do it and would be so appreciated here.
Thanks everyone for input. I really appreciate it. I'm using XP Media Center 2005 and it has 2003 on it that I can buy. My main thing was that with it I could not do like 5mg and have the space between the drug dose automatically come in from my expander. But, as soon as I get the new version of Word, I'm getting Instant Text and maybe that will help. I need to upgrade so I can purchase the IT and Steadman's, and Steadman's needs a newer version. Also, I'd like to get some newer features than 97, hopefully one of the newer versions will be more conducive to production?
Thanks to all who reply. You can email me or post. Thanks much.

Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.
I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.
I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?
Darn Microsoft.
Can you transfer them from Word 2002 to Word 2003?
I was able to transfer mine from one computer to another when I had Word 2002 on both of them. Now I have a new computer with Word 2003, and have not been able to do it. The autocorrect has a different file name.
I dunno about Word 2007 but Word 2003
has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.
In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.
Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
Word 2007, Word 2002, or 2003
How many transcriptionists have switched to these versions of Word? I am still using Word 2000, and it works well for me, but have been offered job with a company that uses Word 2007, and another company that will let you use Word 2002 or 2003. I am fighting this and am at the point where I just might not accept a new job because of this change. I can't imagine why they would want to change from Word 2000. Your opinions, please. Thank you.
Word 2003 and Word 2007....
If you have Word 2003 and upgrade to Word 2007 - will you still be able to access your Word 2003 documents?
I am still kinda confused on this as everything I have read about this states that the Word 2003 files will be opend in a "compatibility" form, as opposed to normal.
Would it be in my best interest to save the Word 2003 files to a disk first?
Try Word 2000
Look at some online discount software places. I picked up Word 2000 CD only (no book, no frills) for $30. Seems most of these outfits require Word 2000 and up. Try softwareoutlet.com; that's where I got my CD.

Anybody know if MS Word 2000...
can be used with Vista. I want to go out and get a new laptop this Monday. I have word 2000. I looked on the web and found Word 2007 but it is quite expensive. I would rather not have to purchase word 2007 and new pc as that is a bit pricey for me right now. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
word 2000
thanks for any help!
I do this with Microsoft Word 2000. nm
:
I bought Word 2000 for $30
at softwareoutlet.com. It was CD only, what they call OEM.
Personally, I don't care what bells and whistles the newer versions may have, I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars for a word processing program.
I use word 2000 and have the same problem
I put "year-old" into my Expander as "yo" and when I type the number, I put the dash after it, like 10- then the "yo" without a space and it works.
HTH
What Version of Word do you like? 2000 or?
I'm getting a new computer pretty soon and am wondering what version of Word to get with it. I am only familiar with Word 97 and I like some of the things about that.
I need a version that will automatically CAPITALIZE after a period. Couldn't live with that.
Thanks for all your help. Couldn't make it without my MT buddies!
Were is *acl file in Word 2000? NM
Where is *acl file in Word 2000? TX
My Word 2000 started doing this, and I
problem plus I had header problems. The header was staying huge even after changing my normal.dot. I tried MS help to no avail. The header problem occurred after opening an attachment from an e-mail from the company I work for with a header that was like 3 inches to accomodate a letterhead. This wound up changing every single Word document to a new header. I finally just trashed the whole shebang and started with another tower and am running XP with Office 2003. Good luck, but I still don't know what happened!
Word 2000 question
I have a next page break in between each report, but after page 3, it started back numbering 1. Never had this happen before. Anyone know what's going on or how to fix it? I don't want the page # inserted on the page just to show on the lower left toolbar in correct order for printing purposes.

Jump code used in Word 2000
I'm hoping someone can help ~ I just started a new job where I'm working in Word 2000. My question is this ~ There are a lot of normals that I'm using for doctors and I need to figure out how to jump around the report (sets of ??) without having to use the mouse constantly. I've worked in a few different programs before, but never Word. Chartscript used, I believe, Ctr J to jump around. Anyway, I do think there is a way I can do this, macro maybe? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
Try eBay. i got my MS Word 2000 there along with a COA and the code. nm

I googled it and Word 2000 is supported

Actually Word 97 through 2003 (sm)
are essentially the same. A document created in 2003 can be opened in 97 with no problems. You aren't missing anything and you saved a bundle!
NEED HELP WITH WORD 2003
Does anyone on the board here know how to subtype in Word?
Word 97 to 2003
I am finding that my Word 97is bogging down and two accounts that I work use 2003 and I believe there might be interference between the two programs. I would like to know if anyone has transitioned their documents to 2003 and if there have been any complications.
Thanks

Buy the student version. My daughter did and it was so much cheaper and works just as well.
Word 2003 help
HELP! I've used Word 2003 for years. I bought a new computer with XP, NOT Vista, loaded the program back on and it seems to work fine EXCEPT I always worked in normal view, just like it better. However, now in normal view will NOT display the entire status bar words as before; i.e., Ln does NOT show up. For example, if I wanted to skip to Line 6.75 or whatever, I have no clue where it is. Print view, I know, displays all of this. In normal view, it never shows page breaks either which it did before. My problem is, I really like to work in normal view and have done so for years with the above items showing up on the status bar. The status bar is there at the bottom but won't display Ln at all. I have two reference books and cannot for the life of me figure thisout. Any ideas? Perhaps reinstalling it again???

Hi all!
I accidently bumped something -- I have no clue what! But now I have two tools bars on my Word 2003 screen and I cannot seem to get rid of the duplicate. Any ideas? Thanks! 
Word 2003
Not sure of how to help with that - but was told by the IT people where I work not to update to the newest version or it would interfere with the connection with Escription -
Word 2003
 I tried that -- it didn't remove the double tool bar and I didn't update anything either so it didn't get messed up from any updates -- just me typing too fast and hitting something that I shouldn't have. Ugh!

When I am typing, all of a sudden my cursor goes away. It is really annoying! Every time I get on a roll with something I have to stop and click the mouse to get started again. Do I have some kind of virus or what the heck is going on?

MS Word 2003 sm
I need the regular (not student/teacher) version of MS Word 2003 for eScription. Does anyone know where these can be purchased? Microsoft is now pushing their word 2007 so I haven't had any luck on their site. Without purchasing the entire MS Office 2003, any ideas???
TIA
In Word 2003... sm
Go to the top where the drop down menus are. Go to "Tools" "Autocorrect Options" "Autoformat As You Type" and check or uncheck the boxes as you prefer. There is one for a fractions and for 1st.
I don't have 2000 so I can't tell you how it is different off the top of my head.

If you only want Word 2003, it is difficult to find one even on E-Bay. I also have been looking for it. I don't want the entire 2003 Suite, just Word 2003. If you find one, please let me know where. Thanks.

I just recently purchased works 2008 with word 2003 through an online store on ebay for $59. This was just in the last week. I don't remember the name of the store, but it was out of Arizona. Just go into ebay and do a search for word 2003 and you will find it. Good luck with your test. You definitely want to make sure you have good references and if you are going to be working from home, you may want to make sure you update. I just had to, am working from home now after 13 years of working on site. Stedmans sure got a nice chunk of money from me lol. You can actually get download versions of the books right onto your computer so you won't have to wait for the mailman. If you need to get a pedal try www.tvps.com (Executive Communication Systems), this is where I have found the best deals on the pedals I needed. The best of luck to you.

That was me. I did indeed get Word 2003 with a copy of Works 2008 plus from Glendale, AZ on ebay for $59.95. The seller is dimensiongifts-2008. I am using it every day with no problems.
Good luck.
