I had the same problem and had to uncheck the box "Quick tap on play pedal locks play on" and the problem was solved.

That's to add a word though. You don't scroll down through your entries to use an AC, do you?

For the asterisk: Just write a macro. Go to a document that has an asterisk in it.

Tools/Macros/Record new macro (The little tape-looking icon comes on your screen. It's like turning on a recorder).

EDIT/FIND/*/enter then stop recording.

I think that's right. I've had mine for so many years that I can't really remember what it says. You can e-mail me if you have trouble with it.

Hi,

If you have automatic spacing enabled in IT, it automatically inserts a tentative space after every expansion. If you then type a punctuation key, IT will then automatically jump back and remove that tentative space and insert the punctuation.

If you have both the built-in Expander in Chartnet enabled, along with IT, the two programs may conflict with each other so it would be best to disable the Chartnet expander while using IT.

Lastly, be sure you are using the latest release of IT which is 5.44 with a built date of May 2007 and if you are using Vista, make sure the User Account Control setting is disabled.

Hello,

There a few options available with regards to automatic spacing and decimals. For a summary of these options, please see the link below.

Does anyone know how to set up 2 spaces after a period and 2 spaces after a colon in ShortHand version 10?  One poster here said that this:  {@@key Bksp}. worked and it did not work for me.  It worked once and then it erased the last letter as it put in the spaces.

Also Microsoft Word 2000 doesn't seem to have a spacing feature unless I am not looking in the right spot.  Wish I had IT as everyone says that is a no brainer to use and setup.  TIA.  

I don't think there is any hard and fast rule regarding this.  Your client obviously isn't BOS obsessed as "any" underscoring in a list is a no no.  If underscoring is an account specific rule, I personally would underscore the title only.  The easiest solution is to check some previous reports and just follow suit, or better yet .. ask.

Thanks.

You may want to get an Expander program like ShortHand or Instant Text. They allow you to use your short-cut list(s) in any application you type in, and you will never have to redo your list(s) when you change accounts or company platforms.

Your question raises the portability of abbreviation lists when you use different trascription platforms.

Each platform offers a utility where you can create your list of abbreviations, but you don't want to start over and over each time you change platforms.
The solution to this problem is that EITHER these platforms provide you with another utility that lets you convert your list to their format OR you invest in an Expander software like ShortHand or Instant Text that let you use your list practically on all platforms.
With Instant Text you can import your AutoCorrect with a few clicks and then you can use it with EMDAT or any other platform.
Your time is worth money. You may want to evaluate how much it is worth by calculating how much time it takes to redo your list.

Look at the model they used...that's sure what the average MT looks like!  LOL

The esp file can be saved as mentioned.
The next step is to make it work in Bayscribe. One solution is to use Instant Text and import your esp file. Once your Expander file is an Instant Text glossary, it is portable and you can use it on any MTSO transcription platform.

or ShortHand I believe, when you buy it, it gives you the option of what word Expander you want to use it with.  Unfortunately, I never did use it.  First of all, I couldn't get used to it and the rules with how to bring up a word.  I think it was something like if a word is 4 or more letters, use the first 2 letters to bring it up, and then another rule if the word is 5 or more letters, bring up the first and then last letter of the word...so on and so on.  I have found that I have my own way of shortcuts and can't use someone's else's method.  Now I just use Shorthand and auto text in Emdat, and that' s working for me.  It might work for you, just in order to get the full  benefit, you have to follow his rules for it, and that is where my mind couldn't go.
