There is a way to copy Autotext and - sm
your normals, not sure about autocomplete though. You can copy your "normal.dot" file in your templates and transfer that quite easily, I don't know if that covers everything or not. Do a search under your help file on your tool bar in word.
Can anyone explain how to copy macros & autotext to another computer?
I did this one time years ago and can't remember how I did it. Thank you!
Word AutoText, AutoCorrect, and Spellchecker, and other Word features
I have just started working for a company that uses Word (my previous experience was HTML-based and had its own autotext and spellchecker).
I have never bought medical spellcheckers nor Instant Text, especially that I have learned a lot from posters here that one could use the autocorrect feature for long words/phrases/paragraphs/templates. I have heard of people saying autocorrect was not meant to be used for such.
I have been browsing some features of shortcuts in Word (using the Assistant), and have discovered that it has AutoText. I tried it by highlighting a whole document (canned procedured), then hit Alt+F3, assigned a code, and voila! I have a template that readily inserts into an open Word document by typing the code and hitting Enter.
Also, I have learned that I can insert empty fields (for variables in my templates like BP/HR/RR/Temp values by hitting Ctrl+F9, then when I have inserted the autotext for a template with such empty fields, I can readily jump from one field to the next (to fill them up with values) by hitting F11 (or Shift+F11 to go to previous empty field).
We do know that many dictators want us to type verbatim even for running sentences, so that I have found the Spelling and Grammar checker feature of Word quite cumbersome. I discovered tonight that I could use just the spellchecker feature by clicking on Tools > Customize, then under Categories, select Tools; under Commands, select Spelling. I dragged that onto my tool bars so I can do a quick spellcheck. Cool thing was, the previous documents I have made with new drug names, etc., which I have spellchecked using a non-Word program, were automatically included in its database (so I do not have to re-enter them as I begin to utilize this feature). Drawback: I could not make a shortcut key for this (have to use the mouse again!)
Then I made my OWN keyboard shortcut for autocorrect by going to Tools>Customize>Keyboard (click on button then another window appears), Under Categories, choose Tools; under Commands, choose AutoCorrect. Under Press new shortcut key, assign the shortcut you want (F key, Alt or Ctrl + desired key), then click on Assign button.
Well, that is all I can share for now. I have learned a lot from posters here, and I hope I have added some info, especially for Word users like me who can be categorized as average.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');

Word XP/autotext help
Is there a way of using autotext so that it will come up in the font that you are typing in? Some doctors use arial and some use times new roman and if I use my autotext it automatically comes up in whatever I created it in, not necessarily what I am currently typing in. Is there a way to change that? Thanks for helping.:)
Word AutoText
I cannot get this to let me add a shortcut for cm2. I have tried different things and just can't get it to work. Any suggestions?

Copying Word Autotext? Can anyone help?
Can anyone tell me how to copy my autocorrect entries? Word help says to make it into a template but don't know how to do that. I'd appreciate any help very much!
I use AutoCorrect and AutoText on Word sm
It isn't as limited as you might think. If you have over 225 characters in your selection or have blank lines, etc. you need to check "formatted text." You can also put it in AutoText and once you start typing the first few letters a box will come up with the rest of the text and if you want to insert it, you just press enter. I have many, many entries in both AutoCorrect and AutoText. I like it much better than the ShortHand program I bought, though I do need that to transfer text to the Word program that work uses between emails, etc. That may be because I've used Word for years and am used to it.
Which one -- AutoCorrect or AutoText? Word version?

Also, Word has the AutoCorrect and AutoText--see inside
Also, Word has the excellent AutoCorrect (for expanding words like "tp" into "the patient"). It is an excellent help, the only downside being that it maxes out at about 7000 entries.
Also, for longer portions of type, like something a doctor says over and over, there is AutoText in Microsoft Word. Just put the paragraph or sentence or whatever in th AutoText, and the next time the doc says it, you can put it in.
Also, you can save complete documents in Word that you may use again- like psychiatric tests that they do-- you can just open that document and rename it a new name (keeping the old document as the template, like "Dr Smith Psyc tests" and then rename it when you do it to something new- and you can have all your margins, test headings, tabs, etc.
I would not work without these 3 things being available--AutoCorrect, AutoText, and the ability to store documents that I might want to use again.
So, I'd just drag them into the 21st century! It is actually ridiculous. Would their programmer(s) work without their production shortcuts? They have plenty of them. Ask them not to use any, to type every / and etc. and have no canned programming stored, and see how they like it. Arrogant snobs.
word has both autotext and autocorrect plus macros
I really don' t see all that much need to buy a ShortHand program, especially when you are just starting out and probably put out a lot of money already. Just click on your toolbar, click on autocorrect, and you will get a menu that you can use to add in your new expansions.
if you would like to access this toolbar from your keyboard, you can create a macro that will do this.
Sub ATxtShow()
Dialogs(wdDialogToolsAutoCorrect).Show
End Sub
Paste this into your macro editor, and now record a "hot key" macro on whatever key(s) you would like to use. I use alt-5, but you can use any alt or control key combination you have free.
I certainly hope this macro posts properly, I tried 3 times to post a macro that to count characters, and each time a quote mark was removed by the system, but I hope this will post properly. I will follow up on this immediately after posting and make sure it is correct.
Word expander list for Autotext?
Is there a way to add a premade list of words or phrases to Autotext (not Autocorrect)? I need that little suggestion box to pop up for me. Is there a way to do this or do I need to add every word individually?
Thanks
ABCZ word/phrase list for Autotext?
Does anyone know where an ABCZ word/phrase list for Autotext (not autocorrect) can be found?
If you don't have an expansion program, you can put stuff in Word in your AutoCorrect/AutoText un
s
If working in Word, autotext/correct can be used for free, but (smsg)
if you need a separate expander, then I recommend Shorthand. I think their cost is reasonable, and it is user friendly. I've used it for years, and it has worked in numerous different platforms, or if not directly compatible, I could convert my list either way fairly easily. It, too, has a free demo period for 30 days. Aside from Word's own autotext/correct function which is limited in its compatibility to a degree, you aren't going to find a good free one.
How do I copy my resume from Word into the

Auto Text entries on word. Is there a way to copy these or print these? Thanks in advance. NM

That is "web site" in post above. Also, Auto Copy add-on for Firefox will automatically copy
Auto Copy add-on for Firefox AUTOMATICALLY copies what you select (highlight) on a web site to the clipboard.
Then you can paste it in a document.
It just saves the step of right clicking and then clicking on "copy" to put something on the clipboard. Just select it, and it is on the clipboard.
It only works only on web sites-- only copies stuff you select on web sites, i.e. not in other documents.
Print a copy of the form on your printer, fill it out, copy and send it to your computer via fax may
Just a guess. Or print it, fill it out and fax it to her.

Googling
Google is my home page, so whenever I go online, that is the first page I see....easy!
try googling it...........nm

You might try googling..
as I strongly doubt that any of us live in Cancun.
googling
just googled and found some interesting info - pretty much all the bigger companies are offshoring - most not telling client. There have already been incidents where a pakistani and indian transcriptionists have threatened to post medical information on the Internet - legislators aware. the current administration thinks that the jobs the Mexicans are taking here are jobs that Americans don't want. Are we about to let them think the same thing? We need to be proactive - if we are really 100,000 or more - think of the jobs lost, taxes lost, houses lost. Also found an interesting article about offshoring in which the owner of this site is quoted as being against (YEAH) offshoring.
Rely more on googling then (nm)

Not off the top of my head, but googling

Not talking about Googling
There are tons of reputable sites that I use daily. There is even a Stedman's site. I purchased books in the beginning but never use them. I only use internet resources and my downloaded version of the BOS. I do not waste time flipping pages of books. You have obviously not taken the time to explore the plethora of internet sites. rxlist.com and drugs.com are my favorites for medications.
I do not copy to text. I copy the spf sm
file to a disk and save the whole thing there, update it occasionally.
try googling "achalasia scan." nm

Try Googling him with his old address or name in the town he was from - also
I think there is an on-line site called privateeye.com, or something like that you pay a one time fee that could probably dig up all you want to know and more. If you have kids, kick him out (change locks), stay in the house if you have one, document any bruises, cuts, etc, with pictures, tell people, mom, dad, friends about it. My husband ask me before we married if I would ever leave/divorce him and I told my husband only if he hit me (1 x would be all it would take) or cheated on me that I was gone (he cheated on his ex-wife-- not with me, did not know him then and he'd be out on the street, and about $100K poorer at this point)--Good luck and I hope you land on your feet (running).
Try Googling 'herbs uses.' Worked for me.

Try googling surfcam or oceancam.

I've kept Googling this term, but....sm
I can't relate just how it would affect opening your own small transcription service. But I'm way behind the times, and maybe someone with current info can be of help. I'm surprised your post has not yet been answered.
Siren, I find googling key words fastest and most helpful. SM
After that, my medication software, then my dictionary software rarely but valuable when needed. For books, I still use my Stedman's equipment book and Sloan's abbreviations/eponyms (invaluable when needed). As a new MT, I purchased most of the Stedmans books, plus many other books, and found them invaluable then, but now as a skilled MT they mostly just gather dust as doing a quick search with hands on the keyboard is much, much faster.
autotext
can someone tell me where I can download autotext software. I understand it is free word expander. I searched the internet and found rapid text and phrase something (cant remember). Which is the better one or are they both the same.
autotext
I believe you can use autotext through Word and the function key is F3 -- I think. I haven't used it for a while.
autotext
Go to insert, then autotext then check the box that says to suggest autotext entries. Hope it helps.
Autotext
Hi me - does this work only if you use Autotext?
Autotext
Highlight what you want to save as an autotext entry, then click autotext, and name it. I use it all the time.
AutoText
Thanks -- that was exactly what I needed. The only problem I had was that the font size was smaller when I inserted it in my document. Is there anyway to fix that?
