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

Once you get to internet options from TOOLS at the top of your browser, you have a radio button to delete cookies, one to delete history, one to delete online files and then offline files - that is how you delete the cookies AND the cache/memory/history.

Is that what you need to know?  Hope that helped!! 

have all of my accounts set up this way.  It makes it much easier and all the doc has to do is plug in the recorder.  I use DocShuttle with Olympus DS-2300 recorders.

Hope this helps.

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.

2007 is really different than 2003.  I can't seem to find how I do this.  Thanks.

How do you bold in auto correct?  Example: SOCIAL HISTORY: 

Any help is appreciated greatly.

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 

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

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,

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. 

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

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).

TIA Min in Ga

thank you so much :0  that did it.  who woulda thunk it ;)

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!

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.

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

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

1. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options.
   
2. In the Word Options dialog box, click Proofing, and then click AutoCorrect Options.

Does anyone know how I would do this?  Any tips will be appreciated!!!  TIA
