Hi: Try opening Word, Edit and then click on undo bullets and numbering to see if this may be a simple way to stop this. I have Windows XP and I just tried this and it worked. Good luck.

MS Word Auto Numbering
If by indenting, you mean making a list and having it indented toward the right, you need to turn on the autonumbering options in Word. Do this by opening Word, go to tools, autocorrect. Click on the tab autoformat as you type. Check ON automatic numbered lists. Now click on the tab Autoformat and check ON lists, say OK at the bottom. Close Word and open it again. When you type 1. and then some text and hit enter aftward, it should now set up your list for you. Make sure that if you are transcribing, the account allows autonumbering, most don't. Hope this helps!
Help with numbering/indents in Word/EXText
Any of you computer smarties out there who can help me out? I'm new to Word Client and EXText and I'm trying to figure out the least maddening way to set up my lists and numbers. I already have a great macro for when they dictate 1., 2., 3., etc. so no problem there. My problem comes in when some of these guys want 1. and then a., b. c. They want it to be set up like this (hope it comes out right)
1. text text text
a. Text
b. Text
2. Text
a. Text.
I can get my a. b. c. macro to look right when I type it as a stand alone macro, but if I have done my 1.2.3. macro and then try to do the a.b.c. underneath the 1, then it scoots the a. waaaay too far over to the right, to where it is under the second word of the text, not lined up right under the first letter of the text under 1. Does anyone know of a way to do this that doesn't involve a bunch of time and extra key strokes? Hope this makes sense trying to explain it, I'm waiting on deliverye of my Word For Dummies book but then had the thought that I have seen computer-related questions answered here before and thought I would give it a shot. TIA.
Microsoft Word question (numbering)
I started with a new company today. Anyway, I got my review back. It said I need to turn off my numbering macro, the numbers should be flush left. Well, no matter what I do it always indents. I am working with Word 2000. I tried the help menu which did not help. How do you make it not indent the numbers? TIA.
Every version of Word seems to do auto numbering differently. sm
The last two versions have a number list style that will keep numbers at the left margin and do the hanging indent automatically. Alt-Shift-left arrow will take your list back to the left margin if you don't use the style but want to use automatic numbering.
You don't need to close Word after checking the auto numbering option. It works right away. nm

Here's what I do for the numbering -sm
I got this from another board awhile ago and saved it. I assigned the hot key of ALT+; so I don't have to take my hands off. When I get to #2, I just do ALT and semicolon and the lists goes to the left margin. Here it is:
Record this simple macro and assign it to a hot key:
1. Type #1 and any text you want to, then press Enter.
2. Immediately after #2 appears in your list, start the macro recorder, press the up arrow key, then press Alt + Shift + left arrow and your list will demote to the left margin.
3. Press the down arrow key and your cursor is in place for the second line of text.
4. Stop recording.
When typing lists, run the macro when you get to #2.

to find how to do this in Word, just type in numbering where you ask for help. It gives a simple good explanation how to do it.
You just type 1 and tab or space over. Type in your text and enter. it should automatically come up. If it does not, then go to tools menu, click autoformat as you type, select automatic bulleted list or automatic numbered lists, Make sure the box is checked. To finish your list, ENTER twice or press backspace to delete the last bullet or number in the list. It works. I tried it to be sure.
Numbering system sm
This would not work well as some people come in way before their appointment and some show up 2 minutes before and have to get back to work, so the early bird would have the other one's number. What about the local pharmacy where they holler out your name and in my case, yelled, "We're almost out of Norvasc but will give you enough to get you over the next few days." Good thing it wasn't something more personal! This privacy stuff is a long road to hoe before it gets straightened out. Same thing with blood work, no privacy at all in getting your info into the computer, yell out your name, ask address, tel. #, age, it's disgusting. The whole room knows why you're getting blood or urine tested. Geez.
Numbering reply
You need to click on Format, then click on bullets and numnbering, then click on outline numbering and you can reset the numbers and alphabet letters any way you want to.
The only problem with that is when you are listing and numbering them, even

Turning numbering on and off for lists
Does anyone know the keystroke commands or if they even exist to turn numbering off and on for lists? I hate having to use the mouse to point at the menu and going that route!
on ExText numbering, and subheadings w/indent
after going in and setting up for numbers what I have to do and I have found no other way.
when doctor saysS1. then subset A:
1. Hyperlipidemia.
A.
B.
2. Hypertension.
3.
what you have to do is type 1. what you want afterward (hyperlipidemia), hit enter, you will get 2 lined up under 1., back up, delete it, space to under the h, type A. xxxx, enter, it will put a b under a, then if he say number 2, enter, it will type a c, back space through it and line up under 1 for the #2, type what he says (hyperlipidemia), enter and it will type 3 under the 2.
that is the only way I have found to have the indented numbers and subheadings.
Sorry no more help, but when you get used to it it gets faster. If someone has an easier way I am all ears.
Change the alignment to Right in the Bullets & Numbering dialog box.

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.
Is any one running ExText with Word 2000 and EditScript with Word 2003 sm
I am interested to know if anyone is running two platforms with a different version of Word on one computer.
I am running eScription's ES with Word 2003 and want to run ExText but their version of Word is 2000. Has anyone done this or doing it now. If so, have you run into any problems.
I can't seem to get a straightforward answer from the Techs at either company. I can't just load ExText and jeopardize it interfering with eScription.
I am interested to hear any and all comments. Thank you so much in advance for any help!
it is attached to your version of Word. Open Word and it'll be on your tool bar. NM

I type the letter "l" in IT and the word cholelithiasis is my word selected?Why?
I want to get rid of this. Entered left again but it is still giving me cholelithiasis as the only word option to select from.
This is why I find this program crazy. Everytime I sit down for the day, there is a whole new experience with it!!! I have to stop and think before each word!!!
How do you make fields in Word Perfect like in Word? I'm drowning out here

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','');

why on 1 computer for the same report would the word count be different in Word? (inside)
Like on 1 computer with word the document was 27000 character counts w/spaces
and the other computer (the one i type this account on says 13,000. How can there be such a difference with Word being the same? I am baffled.

How do they define a word? Is it characters? Is it the MS Word definition
of a word? You can fit approximately 500 words on one page of typing. It's about $.055 per line, or $2.75 per page. It's up to you. It's not great, but you are a newbie. If you don't have any other offers out there, try it for a while to gain some experience.
Switching from Word 2000 to Word 2003...
Has anyone upgraded from W2000 to W2003? If so, did all your autocorrect entries and normals transfer easily? I would like to upgrade but don't want 2 lose my shortcuts and expanders! TIA

Word has its own excellent word expander in Autocorrect.
It reminds me of the old PRD
Are you trying to move your macros from Word on one computer to Word on another?
If so, try this....Go to microsoft.com and search for Word 2000 Supplemental Macros. When you get the article, it will tell you to download the small application. You will open the application in Word, and it will give you instructions on backing up the macros you already have. You will do this on the computer you want to move macros from. Once you have made a backup copy, email it to yourself. Go to the computer you want to put the macros on. You will need to download the Word Supplemental 200 Macro application on this computer also. Save the email you sent yourself on your desktop, and open the application in Word again just as before. You will select restore and pick the file on your desktop to restore to. The macro will do all of the work and transfer all of the macros into your new computer.
Now, if this is not want you wanted....... never mind.....

what version of Word do you have? Here's a link for Word 2002 -sm
This looks like a long and drawn out thing to do, but it's not that hard really.
When I did it, I checked and found that I had the support template already in the folder, so I was able to skip down to "Back up your AutoCorrect entries on source computer." It's named support.dot and is found here:
C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Macros
Just following the instructions closely, it was really easy.
If you don't have Word 2002, I think there are other methods avaialable.
Here's the link:

Can you transfer them from Word 2002 to Word 2003?
I was able to transfer mine from one computer to another when I had Word 2002 on both of them. Now I have a new computer with Word 2003, and have not been able to do it. The autocorrect has a different file name.
Now, regarding my use of the word 'nigger', I used the word as a point of reference. And, to
I had also said, before the thread got moved and deleted that we are all people and that color shouldn't make a difference. What it all comes down to is Dog Chapman is a prejudiced person and he got caught. What his son did was wrong, but it still doesn't make Dog Chapman right.
Regarding AAMT, I thought what one poster said about Dog getting paid 6 cents a line for being AAMTs "motivational" speaker was hilarious. And, what on Earth did having him as a speaker have to do with MT???? Again, I thought it was a tremendously dumb move on AAMTs part.
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...
Calculating lines using Word Count in Word
I have recently started a job where lines are calculated using the Microsoft Word word count tool. I think I read that you get cheated out of lines if a company counts this way. Is this true?
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.
It is Word. ExText is the word expander
