Why don't you just use Auto Correct
Posted By: cj on 2006-03-07
In Reply to: Thanks. I'm sick that PRD may not work. Stedman's new spellcheck looks like it will - if I want to cough up another $100. Did I
in Word? it's very similar to PRD and you can assign it to open on an F-key...

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![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/swords.gif)
You could add it to your auto correct
uuu for date spelled out.
put it in your auto correct if your (sm)
program allows; the way you spell it incorrectly to the left and to the right the correct spelling and when you type it its corrected for you. Have done that several of my words I have the same problem with.
How do you add in auto correct?
2007 is really different than 2003. I can't seem to find how I do this. Thanks.

auto correct
I lost my auto correct. It asked me if I wanted to replace my normal template and like a dummy, I hit yes. Now, I do not have any of my doctor normals, but it has the shorter auto corrections for the patient, however, aspirin, etc., but not any of the longer ones that I use for doctor's normals. Does anyone know how to restore this?
Auto Correct question
I have a question. Is there a way to print the entries in auto correct?? Also, is there a way to save all my entries in auto correct and auto text to a CD??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif)
Yes there is a way to print your auto correct
There is a free download for a macro program that backs up your auto correct file. You can print it..save it..and restore your autocorrect file with it. I love it. I have 3 computers and I use this to keep all of them up to date with my auto correct entries.
I dont think I can post a link here on this board. If you email me at Loveyaheart@aol.com I will be glad to give you the link for the download.
Auto Correct BackUp
In Word, there are two files that you must backup for AutoCorrect ~ Normal and acl file. I need to know what the file name is for the 'acl' file..
Thanks, mroper
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,
auto correct vs. shorthand
i don't see the difference, care to explain?
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.
moving auto correct
Does anyone know how to move the auto correct entries that you have on one computer and putting them on another computer also. I have my home computer that I have my side Doc that I do and I will be working for a hospital and want to also have them on this computer. I tried some directions that I got off microsoft.com with just putting a floppy in clicking files/folders, local hard drive and put in file name to search- normal. dot but nothing came up. Is there another way, as I would hate to type these all over again?
Thanks
auto correct capitalizing after cm
I'm typing in WORD and copy/pasting into Meditech; however, it is not capitalizing the first letter if it comes after cm. or mm. I have everything checked in options and it works the rest of the time. Any suggestions on this, or anything else re: typing this way for Meditech (radiology).

Help with ExText auto correct
I just started using ExText's autocorrect in addition to my ESP and if I'm careful they're not incompatible. I don't think that is the problem.
The problem is that somewhere in AutoCorrect several words have been entered to have a period after an abbreviation, like if I type "recs" for recommendations, what it gives me is "recs." The "recs" for recommendations is in my ESP. I want to find the "recs." and get rid of it but I canot find it in the AutoCorrect to delete it. There are a few others like that (I type "croww" for CROW walker, but it gives me "crow." So now I've had to change my abbreviation to crowwk. See what I mean? I just hate to have to make up new abbreviations and remind myself to use them if I could just delete the ones that are embedded in there. Can anybody help?
Thanks!
auto correct and format
I have 2003 on one computer and 2007 on the other, but it could not be much different, okay, go into your auto format or correction, in spelling and grammar, go to options, , advanced, there should be a auto correct button in there, that will take you to what you need to change. What happened is when you clicked yes, it unchecked something that was checked when you were working with it before, just go down the list and look for what you need.
I really and truly hope this helps, if not, go to the Microsoft website, there should be a help option on your header, then just type in what you are needing help with and it should guide you through it.
Backing up Auto Correct
Can someone tell me how to back up AutoCorrect in Word? I just purchased a flash drive and would like to put my entries on it. Thanks in advance!
Backing up Auto Correct
The file name for mine is MSO1033.acl. Just do a file search on your computer for *.acl and save it to disk or flash drive.
as far as I know, main problem with auto-correct
than Shortcuts/Shorthand, for example. So would depend on your number of expansions and how many more you're planning to put in, I would say. I don't know what the maximum limits are, but you can probably find that info on Google or here:
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....
Yes, tools and then auto correct options.
There are lots of tabs in there for different automatic options - you can undo them by removing the check marks. Just go thru all the different options you don't want and click on the box to remove the check marks. If you remove all check marks on most auto options, it allows you to basically straight type! Good luck!
Yes, your auto correct!!! I use it ALL the time! No need for expander here!
merge shortcut into auto correct?
Does anyone know how to merge the word list that I have for Shortcut for Windows into my Autocorrect for Word? I had it done before, but somehow it got reset or something, so the entries are no longer there. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif)
auto correct in word 2007
- Click the Microsoft Office Button
, and then click Word Options.
- In the Word Options dialog box, click Proofing, and then click AutoCorrect Options.
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!
Open Word, click on Auto Correct, then..
click on the words you do not want and click Delete.
Importing Auto Correct file (.acl) into Bayscribe
Does anyone know how I would do this? Any tips will be appreciated!!! TIA
Yeah, just like ABCZ which I used in auto correct and SmartType, I think.
Bottom line, they increase production, TAT, quality and salary. My company provides us with 2 different ones because they are like a raise in wages. And companies have less employes and taxes, everyone is happy.'
Sorry about confusion and typos, I do not have my glasses on lol (they are in this house somewhere, i just know it!).
I had all those dang ages in my auto correct before. The whole 90-year-old expansion. nm

Do it correct always. It will learn. Everyone has to do it correct all the time. nm

If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.
auto
Just type the heading and bold it and then go to autocorrect and add it.
auto text, auto text auto text - I also have ...
a couple of doctor accounts that pay me "off the books" and it's less than $800/month so that helps out a great deal.
I autotext every report until I build each doctor up to a "normal" text format. if you want more info - email me at dcr468@aol.com. I am always hesitant about writing the name of companies on this board because of the serious bashing that goes on.
we had one that sent auto feedbck to the mts

Auto Cap Options in IT
You can disable the Automatic Capitalization in IT by right-clicking on the phrases advisory, then go to Options and Automatic Capitalization. There you can enable/disable the feature and indicate whether or not you want it to capitalize after colons.
Another place to check is in AutoCorrect in Word- that may be automatically capitalizing things as well. ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif)
Unfortunately that is the bad part of auto
text and why companies encourage you to use it. The shortcuts and templates you build don't last due to numerous reasons like rebooting the server, etc. When companies hire you they make it sound like your lines will increase in no time once you build the shortcuts, but they fail to tell you that rebuilding them is also included! Another reason why I'm so sick this profession and looking to get out.
auto text.
cc:
You can auto cap in autocorrect sm
I leave autocorrect enabled since I don't the ESP program. I use Instant Text and autocorrect togeter with ET and haven't had any problems. Under the show autocorrect options, just check mark capitalize first word in the sentences. I actually checked them all.
auto-backup
If you go under settings, and then playback settings, There is an autobackup setting ..It goes in milliseconds, and I currently have mine set at 1000, which seems to be a comfortable place, and backs it up just enough to catch the last word or so that i may have missed.
Auto format
You should be able to restore by formatting your commands. Just go in and find auto commands and click the one that over turned that.
Good luck!

Auto test entries
Does anybody know how to "save" one's own private auto text entries (within Microsoft Word) and also how to later print-out this file? Thanks in advance!
AUTO "TEXT" ENTRIES
Sorry, I asked about auto "test"......I ment auto TEXT
Auto Text entries
The file should be located here:
c:documents and settings<your name>application datamicrosoft emplates
There are a couple of other "critical" files that you should also back up. One is CUSTOM.DIC - (this is your dictionary) c:documents and settings<your name>application datamicrosoftproof
and the other is MSO1033.acl (AutoCorrect entries) c:documents and settings<your name>application datamicrosoftoffice
Auto Text thanx for helping :)
