That only tells the grammar checker to flag spaces. Word does not auto space.

No spaces IMO looks terrible and is wrong. If you want it to wrap together use non-breaking space
Using non-breaking spaces and non-breaking hyphens negates the issue of the measurement ending up on the next line in a document; which might be imposssible to tell anyway if your work is imported into a format other than what you are typing it in anyway.
My ASR accounts do 1 space after the periods, though the acct specifics want 2 spaces. sm
So does the company set up the VR specifics to include 1 space after the periods so they can pay just a little less? Does anyone take the time to put the extra spaces in, or do you just try to whip through the report just to keep going! Do the spaces after punctuation really amount to big difference in my pay? Just curious as to how all of you handle this situation. Let me know!
MEDICAL WORD SPELL CHECKER
I want to update my 2000 Stedmans Spellchecker. Is there a newer version and what would be the best one to get.
Word 2007 Spell Checker
Is anyone having a problem with Word 2007 spell checker? Somtimes it underlines a misspelled word and sometimes it doesn't. I sent some notes in with quite of few misspelled words. It is so aggravating. I have checked all my settings, and it is set up to show misspelled words and grammar mistakes. I just don't understand why it works one minute but then doesn't work the next.
Can you use the Word autocorrects or only Smartype? What about the Word auto text? tia nm

Can anyone recommend Spell Checker for Word 2003?

MS Word grammar settings?

MS Word Auto Numbering
If by indenting, you mean making a list and having it indented toward the right, you need to turn on the autonumbering options in Word. Do this by opening Word, go to tools, autocorrect. Click on the tab autoformat as you type. Check ON automatic numbered lists. Now click on the tab Autoformat and check ON lists, say OK at the bottom. Close Word and open it again. When you type 1. and then some text and hit enter aftward, it should now set up your list for you. Make sure that if you are transcribing, the account allows autonumbering, most don't. Hope this helps!
Auto Correct in Word
I use auto correct in Word to make my macros. Is there any way to save this info in the event that my computer were to crash. This has happened before and I've had to enter all of my macros again on a new computer (quite a hassle). I appreciate any info.
Thanks,
If you are using Word use auto-correct to
get you started. - make tp the patient, etc.
Start with just a few additions - the ones that you use most often. Add 5 or 10 a week. Make you a sticky note and stick on the monitor if you need help remembering. Use those 5 to 10 for a week and then add a few more the next week.
As someone else stated I would get an expander. Auto correct does the same thing as an Expander but has limited space, so if you utilize a lot of auto-corrects/expansions you'll run out of room and have to switch over to an expander anyway.
MS Word Auto Text
I had inputed a bunch of my own "text expantion" into MS Word Auto Text and went in to work today and they are all gone. It is not the first time this has happened, and then you have to go and input back everything, which is a pain.
Has anyone else experienced this or know why it happens??
Typos happen, and BTW, the word is grammAr (so you

Word expanders vs Auto text
What is the difference between Word Expanders and Auto text? Are they the same thing?
Thanks!
Word expanders vs Auto text
Thank you!
expanders vs MS Word Auto Correct
Hello everyone .... I've been using MS Word's auto correct feature as my expander. Is it 'just as good' as using an Expander ? Of course my line count is lousy per hour - but I don't do the same account regularly, and I don't get many ops (standard formats).
Please tell me if / why I should change to an expander - and which one works best. Remember PRD for DOS - I loved it. Is there a Windows version?
Thanks, Susie
Auto correct in Word and a TON of macros....
MS Word 2003 auto text
I use Word 2003 with the platform that my company uses. I am able to save autocorrect entries, but whenever I save an autotext entry it is gone the next time I open Word. Is there some Word option I need to click that will enable my entries to be saved? It would save me so much time if this feature worked.
auto correct in word 2007
- Click the Microsoft Office Button
![Button](http://office.microsoft.com/global/images/default.aspx?AssetID=ZA100771021033") , and then click Word Options.
- In the Word Options dialog box, click Proofing, and then click AutoCorrect Options.
Never, EVER rely on the grammar check from word. Very bad advice.

Anyone know how to transfer auto corrects from SmarType to word? please..nm

Every version of Word seems to do auto numbering differently. sm
The last two versions have a number list style that will keep numbers at the left margin and do the hanging indent automatically. Alt-Shift-left arrow will take your list back to the left margin if you don't use the style but want to use automatic numbering.
I built my own using the auto-correct function in Word. (sm)
I removed most of the words that came with auto-correct, and replaced them with my own short macros, which consist of words, phrases, & short sentences. Little or no memorizing involved, because I made them up as I went along whenever I kept getting the same things over and over again, and got tired of typing them. For longer macros I just put them in a document file that I can copy and paste. Simple. And CHEAP!
How many WPM do you type with auto corrects/word expander?
I have never tested my speed using my Expander and have no idea how many WPM I type. I became a certified master typist last year at over 100 WPM without my expander. I've been doing this for six years.
I'm really curious what the average is with an expander. TIA.
Auto Text too full-slow MS Word
Has anyone experienced having their Auto Text in MS Word so full that it slows down getting into and out of MS Word Program? This seems to be the problem, because when I accidentally deleted my "Auto Text" entries, my Word program worked fast again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Open Word, click on Auto Correct, then..
click on the words you do not want and click Delete.
open a word document, under help type in auto text--sm
and you can learn how to create, save, delete, edit entries.
Auto Text entries on word. Is there a way to copy these or print these? Thanks in advance. NM

You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

How hard is it to type a word in a blank space? I'm afraid
.
MedQuist? Ctrl+shift+F, period, space, tab, period, space, space, change all. nm

No, I do not have Word, Just Works that does not count spaces.
nm
In Word you take the line count with spaces SM
and divide it by 65. That will give you your line count. So, if my report had 11,700 characters with spaces, that would equal 180 lines. Multiple 180 lines x. 0.11 (your cost per line) and that would equal $19.80 for that particular report.
Good luck!

That only flags spaces as an error. You cannot set Word to
automatically space for you. Replace is good, but watch out for values and things like Mr. when you do that.
extended word count counts spaces. nm
:
In Word, take the character count (with spaces) divided by 65... SM
that will give you an accurate line count, but you'll have to write the character count down for each and every report before you finish and send the report. I put a button on my tool bar that I just clicked to bring up the document counts and then I just kept a log that wrote down job number and character count for each report. Then at the end of the day just add up the characters divide by 65 and you've got your line count for the day. Kind of a hassle, but worth it in the long run.
Are you sure you're using Auto Text and not Auto Correct?
Auto Text accompanies the template, as I stated before. The Auto Correct entries are in a separate file with the .acl extension.
Transferring Auto Correct/Auto Text
I work in Word currently and have a large number of AC/AT entries. I am moving to a platform that has Instant Text or Shorthand. Is it possible to transfer these entries as a file somehow, or am I going to have to enter by hand? Also any comments welcome regarding the ease of use, etc of Instant Text versus Shorthand.
Thanks
My line including spaces is 65 characters. I've heard that not counting spaces
takes away over 35% of your line count. I believe it too because you have at least 15 or so spaces on each line that you type. Use your first sentence up top as an example; you had 77 char and 21 spaces - in that line that would be a little less than 30% of your characters that you didn't get paid for. I don't think it's worth it and wouldn't want to work without getting credit for my spaces.
I meant "One space or two", not "l space or two" nm

That would have been the first red flag! LOL
Obviously, the MTSO has had problems in the past then.

One red flag...
...to me was the benefit package described in the ad. Despite saying that they are "the new kid on the block", the benefits are those seen with (or even better than those of) large, established companies. Most new small companies cannot float such benefit packages unless:
a. They are a unit of or affiliated with another larger company of some sort - which we would certainly want to know.
b. They are a company that has reorganized and managed to hang onto their benefit package - which we would again want to know.
One ad is titled "A New Beginning", suggesting possibility "b" above. If so, it is very important to know which "old" company is being reincarnated as "Jax".
And, I hate to say it as it seems somewhat superficial, but even the name of the company raised my eyebrows.
Even if Jax proves legit, though, it serves now as a perfect example of how easy it would be to harvest resumes from people.
Yep, I would flag it
without a couple of sources of confirmation. Docs cannot spell, though they think they can. Sometimes I will find several Google entries with the same spelling, but they still turn out to be the wrong spelling.
This is my favorite med site:
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm?fuseaction=Search.Search_Drug_Name
If you can hear any 3 consecutive letters (like the LOL or the ROL) you can search and it will give you anything that contains this combination, generics on the right, brands on the left. If you click on the name it will take you to another screen for dosages (sometimes.)
That's a definite red flag...
By all means, if you can, find a vet that'll get you in as an emergency. If your regular vet doesn't see patients on an emergency basis, honestly, it's time to find another one. I have 3 cats & 2 birds, & if I had a vet who wouldn't take one of my "kids" STAT, I'd be going somewhere else.
In the meantime, please give her ((((BIG HUGS)))) & lots of kisses from me & my "kids". BTW, what's her name? I'll keep her in my prayers
It is a red flag to me, seeing one co. over and over. Would not inquire..nm

you cannot even erect a USA FLAG....sm
saw a story last year when a Boynton Beach homeowner with a condo association put up the American Flag.....and did battle with the association and HE lost the battle.....and either had to move or never put up an American flag....on his property in the ground with a pole.
I flag. I don't correct this because as the others said, you don't know. nm
