I use 48x and have that expand to 48-year-old and it will expand correctly. Some people I know use 48y and set it to expand to the same thing. Not perfect but hope it helps.

How do I get AutoCorrect/Text to do a backspace, i.e. {backspace}-year-old?
I use yo in my Shortcut and that can handle the backspace function but now I'm using a new platform and had to import my Expander BUT it won't import entries with {BACKSPACE}. I'm trying to put it into the AutoCorrect/Text but it won't take the command to backspace so now when I type yo it comes out looking like this: 35 -year-old and I have to manually go back and take out the extra space. When I try to enter the command exactly like in ShortCut, {BACKSPACE}-year-old, AutoText sticks it in EXACTLY like that.
 Is there a way to get it to do what I want???
I believe the "sentence continuation" is one feature that will not work nm

Does anyone find the search feature on this board doesn't work right?

Setting backspace for pedal
I have an older transcriber (DAC Model DA-125) and have had it for quite some time now. I moved my office over the weekend and had to unplug the machine. Well, my backspace has reset to practically nothing and I can't find my manual on how to reprogram the backspace. Is there anyone else out there using this phone and if so, how to do reprogram it for the backspace length?
Thanks so much for your help.

C-phone auto backspace - How to?
Does anyone know how to set/adjust auto backspace on a Dictaphone C-phone?
Thanks.
C-phone auto backspace
When I used the C-phone, I would press 9 to increase auto backspace and 8 to decrease it.
ctrl/K, Backspace, Ok, then put -year-old

Does anyone know how to increase the pedal backspace on a DVI? sm
I am having a problem that when I lift my foot off the pedal, it pauses but does not back up at all. It is hard to work like that and I cannot figure for the life of me what to do to fix it!
C-phone ? backspace increment?
Does anyone know how to set the backspace increment on c-phone. My instructions say to use * for "set incremental motion" but it's not working. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Left thumb backspace keyboard
I can backspace with my left thumb and space forward with my right thumb. No reaching up with my pinkie to the backspace key at top right. It's called an "Erase Ease" I think. Let's me fly.
Just backspace over it. I think they just want an e addy so someone is accountable for the post.

Adusting auto backspace on C-phone
Can anyone tell me how to adjust the autobackspace on C-phone. I want to shorten it and can't find any directions. thanks.
Does your program have an option to put in a backspace in your expander?
I use ShortHand for Windows, and if this is what you use, you can put {@KEY BkSp} at the end of it and it will automatically backspace as part of the shortcut.
Same thing applies for bolding, etc. If you look in the help section, you should be able to find out if you can do this.
If you work in Microsoft word, you could record a macro instead of putting it into the autocorrect section.
Good luck!
do ctrl/K, hit Backspace, hit OK, type year-old

Type Matrix keyboard has backspace key in middle- sm
The TypeMatrix keyboard is split down the middle, one split, with backspace keys (two of them) in the middle. It is a vertically aligned keyboard, so if you can imagine each hand has its own keys and therefore its own backspace key. You can see it at www.typematrix.com
I cannot recommend this keyboard enough (no, I don’t work for them)...I have had it for several years and it is amazing...I have reduced the pain and stress in my hands and wrists by 95%....I love it! 
Open the normal.dot file and change your zoom. Hit the space and backspace and close it.

New Search Feature (sm)
Is it possible to display the dates of the posts in the search results? If not, add to wishlist?
There is a compatibility feature
There is a compatibility feature with Vista, or so they claim. It's all in this Q&A piece in the Times here. I think you might have to register for the Times to read this link but it's got some good info

I like the Glossaries feature sm
I can make separate glossaries for each separate hospital and then it doesn't crowd the main glossary. Also, if I leave an MTSO, I can just delete that glossary without losing all my main entries.
i think yahoo has a feature like this
but I haven't used it so I don't know for sure
Yeah, I heard they have that feature now, but...
I just don't use it. I use yahoo, but very rarely. I forgot about that though.
Are you talking about the AutoText feature?
To create a new AutoText entry, it's ALT F3.
I don't know if there is one to open the AutoCorrect options window by default but you could always assign a hotkey/combo.
you need to use the mail merge feature or
put the addresses in your text expander, which is much easier.
Help! MS Word 'Track Changes' Feature
Hi,
Can anyone help with this? I want to use the track changes feature as I proofread reports, so the TXer can learn from their mistakes. After I send the TXer that version with the correction marks, I want to THEN REMOVE THE MARKS, so I can have a 'clean' version of the report which has all of my corrections to it, but doesn't show any red marks. As of now, I see now way to remove the marks. Thanks a lot.

Use the pass feature to move sm
past questions that are stumping you for the moment and you will get them again after you've finished the set of questions. Get a good night's sleep the night before, eat a good breakfast the morning of if you can. Know your BOS and general medical terminology and you will do fine.
Cool MT search feature
Found this awesome search engine tailor-made for MTs. Works fantastically well. Link is below.
Not with Word 2007. That feature is gone.
xx
Actually, we've been handed back that feature.
.
what feature have "we" been handed back?
Maybe because Home version does not have encryption feature.
xx
I use the Compare feature on the tools menu.

Goodness, if you didn't know about the command feature, you really need to
spend some time on the Productivity Talk board for tons of ideas.
Will this glossary transfer to the ESP feature in EXText?
I know I have emailed you before but I chose that financially I just couldn't afford a Expander right now and then I found out that there is one built into the EXText. I'm trying to build that up but as I have never used Expanders before I am at a loss as to what to put into it. Thanks.
You need to use the command feature of IT when you make your entry sm
Copy and insert your text into a new IT entry. Now go back thru the entry and each time you want a field to be placed, you have to hit the "command" button on the bottom left of the window. Then hit CTRL+F9 to create a world field (this will make the little bracket thingies when it spits out in Word). When you're all done, hit OK and there you go!
Where would this feature be located on the drop-down menu on top?
Thanks.
Help with MS Word 'Show Edits' Feature...
Hello,
I am proofreading reports as MS Word files. I want to send a version showing the corrections (in red, as MS Word does when you turn on this feature), but then I want to send the final 'clean' version, with the corrections but without showing all the changes in red, to the client. It doesn't seem that this is possible. Whenever I turn the show edit feature on, I cannot then remove the red marks later.
Thanks for help,
Dave
I just use the * and the search and find feature; seems much faster than macros to me. nm
;
If I can remember, I like to use the "autocorrection" feature in Word that adds it to AC SM
automatically. No writing anything down. I don't take my hands from the keyboard if I can help it. Sometimes I *do* have to go back and un-correct it so I can add it.
I do my work all crazy. Comes from so many years of not having spell check or anything.
Only if you're using the track changes or compare feature. Once somebody else has the document

I love Instant Text too, especially the continuations feature!
The link didn't show up, and the search feature
nm
Added Smilies along with new format available. Note that all new posts will have the feature
but old posts may not.
Yeah! We would go to the movies for 75c - triple feature horror flicks -
Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. Of course, we were too busy 'making out' to watch the movies! That is, until the usher came by a shined the flashlight on us!
