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.

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.
Can anyone recommend Spell Checker for Word 2003?
Does Anyone Know of A Good Medical Spell Checker For Word?
Hello,
I am new to these boards and I am curious If anyone knows of a good medical spell check for Word? TIA :)
DQS spell checker
When you type "whre" instead of "where" when you spell check it the first word that comes up for a correction option is "whore." Wonder how many reports typed by some of our wonderfully accurate Medquist MT's made it through with the word whore in the report? 
spell checker I use
I have used steadmans spell checker for word in the past but the company I work for uses Spellex. I cant really tell a difference between the two but I do know Spellex has a free trial on there site so you can try it before you buy.
Spell checker
I have used Stedman's spell checker on two different jobs and love it, but not the price, especially since it is just for one user. Can I really only put it on one computer? I am an IC and have two computers, and now need to buy a medical spell checker. What do all of you guys recommend? I like the fact that the spell checker automatically corrects a lot of the words, and does not simply flag them. I also do not want to go through a manual spell check after I finish a document. Is there another spell checker out there that works as well for less money?

If you are working off a template or sample that has been spell checked previously you have to reset your document in - tools, options, spell check - check document - so that it will re-look at everything. I do this with every document just to be sure.

I recommend Stedman's Plus Spell Check software through their website. mnm
spell checker
I highly recommend Dorland's spell checker CD that comes with their illustrated dictionary (I paid about $55.00 two years ago). It has all of the words the dictionary has but the beauty of it is you install it directly into your word processing program. You have to change your dictionary from default to "medical". It then works like any other spell checker, except it is all medical. It saves a tone of time and is great for accuracy.
I use Spellex Spell Checker
I have Vista and Office 2007 . I use Spellex Spell Check for Office 2007 and LOVE IT! :). You can go to there website and download a trial. I hope this helps! :)
Stedman's Plus Spell Checker
I purchased a new computer that has Word 2007. The Stedman's Spell Checker that I have is the 2005 version. Does anyone know if it will work with Word 2007 or do I just need to purchase a new medical spell checker?
Medical spell checker
What is the best spell medical spell checker to buy? I'm new to this. Thanks.
My Stedman's spell checker
If I do not capitalize a non generic drug, my Stedman's capitalizes it, however it will not lower case the generics if I accidentally type it with a capital. However I am luck, my docs don't care and if I accidently capitalize a generic, no biggy or if I do not capitalize it, no biggy as long as the spelling is correct. I do try and be accurate but sometimes I am not. But I have noticed that my Stedman's will capitalize if it should be and I wish it would work the other way also. .
I type into EMR with no spell checker
KInd of like balancijng your checkbook without a calculator but it can be done. I keep the internet running in the background and at first did a lot of Google search as I did not trust myself especially with meds. But now I do. Are you typing in a word program or EMR's as if the EMR's are word based you can load on your Stedman's -- I was doing another type of EMR and could do that. Otherwise, you can copy and paste onto a laptop that you bring in with the spell check and do it that way. But again, I started out with a Dictaphone belts, Royal typewrite, then a selectric without correction and then correction capability. So it can be done, it really makes you think but now when I do my other, I don't have as many mistakes. Also don't be surprised if there are no expanders. Good luck.
Stedman's Spell Checker works for me. nm
Definitely need a spell checker. I use Spellex, very good. (nm)

Best Spell Checker compatible with Vista?
 I just bought a new Sony Vaio and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a spell checker that was compatible with Vista for Word 2007. Are there any out there that are good?
No, Stedman's spell checker does not work with
Meditech. Meditech has its own spell checker, and believe me, you want to stay away from it because it has been added to by transcriptionists at each site who DON'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL!
Meditech is the worst platform of any around bar none. It is not geared to transcription. It is only a data base system. The hospitals that use it are too cheap to do anything to upgrade to a Windows based transcription system. They will offshore before they will do that. Bottom line, you know. MEDITECH IS A PRODUCTION KILLER.
what kind of electronic spell checker to you use? sm
i'm thinking of getting an electronic spell checker, where it will automatically correct your words as you type. is there such a program?
thanks
Your Favorite Medical Spell-Checker?
Does anybody have any suggestions for which medical spell-checker to buy for a Word-based platform? Any suggestions on where to find one cheap that is still thorough? Thanks!
Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced medical spell checker?
I've seen some advertised and the prices vary, and I'm wondering which ones are good. Any info would be helpful. Thanks!
I use Sylvan software's medical spell checker and ...am
also their Shortcut word expander. I love both of them. Unfortunately, the spellchecker does not work in DocQscribe, which I work in now. I wish I could get it to because I hate the DocQScribe spellchecker.
Also need good medical spell checker, new system here
because IT person this morning could not install Stedman's and when we contacted the company also told our company using the old version and did not go with my new computer. Anyone help.........
Stedman's spell check does not work with 2007.
Tech support at Stedman's said that come Feb 28, 2007 they are releasing an updated version of their spellchecker and it will work with Word 2007. If you already have Stedman's spellchecker 2006, on Feb. 28 you can call with your registration number and they can give you an update in the amount $39.00 instead of buying the whole thing all over again!
Spellex has a Medical/Pharmaceutical Spell Checker called Spellex-Anywhere
Spellex has a Medical/Pharmaceutical Spell Checker. The program is called Spellex-Anywhere they have a free trial on there website so you can try if before you buy. I hope this helps :).
Stedman's Med Dictionary and Stedman's Med Spell checker are two different programs. Which on
do you have? If it is the medical dictionary, as far as I know it is only a reference software and can't be used as a spell checker.
If you have the spell checker, go into Word. Click on Tools, Options, and then Spelling & Grammar tab. Then click on the Custom Dictionaries button about half way down the window. This will open a new window that lists your available dictionaries and one should be checked. Mine is checked next CUSTOM.DIC (DEFAULT). There is an ADD button to the right. If you click it, you will be able to browse for your custom dictionary.
Hope that helps.
Info/help on open Word 2007 docx with Word 2003.
I have a friend who sent me a document with .docx extension, presumably Word 2007. I can open it in Word 2003; however, all I see are musical notes and highlighting, no text (this is a document with words and highlighting only, no pictures, music notes, etc.). I tried to open this with Notepad and only see the usual gibberish.
I know I opened another 2007 Word doc before and I remember seeing the converter load at that time but that was probably a year ago. Is there something that has changed that I'm not aware of?
Darn Microsoft.
I dunno about Word 2007 but Word 2003
has AutoCorrect, which is probably what you're meaning. When you program a macro, it records your Keystrokes and actions and is more complicated than what you're needing.
In Word 2003, type the word/phrase you want (i.e., degenerative disc disease) then highlight it. Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options, and your highlighted word should be in the "with" box. Type your shortcut (i.e., ddd) in the "replace" box. Click Add then OK. To use the new entry, just type what you put in the replace box (ddd). No other keys necessary. I would guess it should be about the same in Word 2007.
Hope that helps! Feel free to email if you have more questions...
Word 2007, Word 2002, or 2003
How many transcriptionists have switched to these versions of Word? I am still using Word 2000, and it works well for me, but have been offered job with a company that uses Word 2007, and another company that will let you use Word 2002 or 2003. I am fighting this and am at the point where I just might not accept a new job because of this change. I can't imagine why they would want to change from Word 2000. Your opinions, please. Thank you.
In Word 2007, you can add Word count to the status bar.
Right-click the status bar and select Word count. Once it appears on the status bar, you can double-click it to bring up the statistics dialog box that shows characters. You can also find this option on the Review tab, Proofing group, Word Count.
That only tells the grammar checker to flag spaces. Word does not auto space.

Word 2003 and Word 2007....
If you have Word 2003 and upgrade to Word 2007 - will you still be able to access your Word 2003 documents?
I am still kinda confused on this as everything I have read about this states that the Word 2003 files will be opend in a "compatibility" form, as opposed to normal.
Would it be in my best interest to save the Word 2003 files to a disk first?
Word 2007 is the best
I used office 2003 pro since it came out and hated it. It was so slow. I just got the new office 2007 and it is MUCH better than any other version of office.
Word 2007
Thanks for the info!
Word 2007
If I buy Word 2007, can I put it on more than one computer in my house or is the license restricted to just one computer? Thanks for sharing if you know the answer.
Word 2007
Has anyone had any issues; good, bad or indifferent, on Word 2007.
Thanks
Word 2007
I updated to Word 2007 - I took the time to watch the learning videos and was able to create new macros and boilerplate very nicely.
But I have lost all my add-in word books and dictionaries that were in my tool bar. Does anyone know how to get them back?
Word 2007 sm
Word 2007 or Office 2007 was made for Vista and, I believe, is not compatible with Word 2003 or Office 2003. Perhaps they have another file conversion tool on their site. This is the only reason why I cannot upgrade to 2007, although I would love to. There are many platforms and programs that are not compatible with it, as yet, either. It is MS way of trying to *force* the general public to upgrade to Vista, which I think stinks, but there are so many programs and companies that just are not ready for the change. They will also soon stop support for XP home edition, as well, but will continue supporting XP pro for a while yet. good luck to you.
Word 2007
Could users of Word 2007 share what you think of it, please. Do you like it, hate it, etc. How does it compare with other Word versions? Thank you.
RE: Word 2007
It is ok. You just have to learn how to work it. It works a lot different than the other. You have to learn where everything is. But, I am using it and not much trouble with it. The old one was the best one.
word 2007 Help
I am just switching to word 2007 from word 2000. Can someone please tell me how to copy and paste in 2007?
word 2007 help
I am trying to start using word 2007. There are a lot of things that I copy and paste. When I copy (ctrl+c) it does copy but when I try to paste (ctrl + V) it does not paste. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
word 2007 Help
I am trying to get used to Word 2007. When I try to copy (CTL +C) and paste it will not paste with CTL + V. I have to use the mouse and click on the paste button. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Word 2007
Word 2007 does have its issues/quirks. We are having problems with its compatibility with our programs too.
If you can locate a copy of Word 2003, I recommend you get one. I bought a copy from e-bay. It was used, but I only paid $40 for it, and it works just fine. You can still have Word 2007 or other versions on your computer too, just don't overwrite your other versions is you are able to find a copy of 2003.
Word 2007
Good point. Thanks.
Word 2007
I got mine at Best Buy for $100. It is not the business version, but works fine.
Thanks, I just got word 2007
and still trying to figure out where everything is. Who knew it would be/look so different?
Word 2007 Macros
When you open your Word document, there should be an option in the toolbar above that says "Developer." Enter Alt F8 to view your macros, but I think you have to manually hit the Record Macro to enter new macros.
p.s. I prefer the previous Word version over this "new" one.
Word 2007 installed and...
I lost my Stedman's and all of my auto corrects, but everything else seemed to be alright :)
I had to reinstall Stedman's and thank goodness I backed everything up so I had my auto corrects!!
Does anyone use abacus with Word 2007? sm
I've used abacus 2.1 for years. Now I have Vista with Word '07 and I was told that 2.1 and 3.0 would work, but either would be hard to configure. I'm not sure what that really means and would like to hear from anyone who is using it about problems or advice.
