You can manually type the codes for caps lock on and off

Just type the symbols on the keyboard with the B and it will go in fine. Don't know why your keyboard is beeping, but hope it won't when you manually put the codes in. Hope this helps! :)

Shorthand users: When I need to transcribe in all caps and use my caps lock key my abbreviations.sm
are only lower case. Is there anyway I can use get my abbreviations to expand in upper case? The only way I can do it now is by holding down my shift key. Thanks for any help you can offer.
is your caps lock on?
If so, it won't let you do anything in your expander.
Or try doing a copy and paste into your expander.
make sure your caps lock is not on...but..

Pry off the caps lock button.

You need to press shift key and caps lock. You may
need to do it a couple of times. I transcribed for many years and never had a problem, but the last couple of years I have this happen about once a month. It isn't a malfunction of the keyboard - it is user error :).
When I use my CAPS LOCK only the first letter of my abbreviation is capitalized..sm
and not any other. The only way I can get my entire abbreviation to be in capitals is by holding down my Shift key. I thought maybe I have something set up incorrectly in Preferences, etc. but can find nothing that would be of help. Do you have any other suggestions?
I had to type it in manually...sm
but, other poster was correct, this is a product, not a forum.
P.S. Also, possibly ctr/caps lock, or shift/capslock, or alt/capslock (nm)

Anyone type their e-mails in all caps?
A co-worker sends the entire e-mail response in all caps regardless of the question. I was always told it meant shouting. If there is some other meaning please inform.

Please don't type in all caps, hard
to read and is considered screaming on the net.
Thanks all. I have to type diagnoses in all caps and the software does not allow me...sm
to block and capitalize so I have been looking for a way I can use my ShortHand abbreviations in all caps but from what I am understanding there probably is not a good way to do this other than holding down the Shift key while I transcribe which is what I have been doing or making separate entries as caps which is most likely too time consuming as I have thousands. Thanks for your input.
Word will not correct two letters in caps. You must type a third letter for
that feature to kick in. You need to practice letting up on the Shift key sooner or you need a macro to go through your document to fix all of those instances.
Word 2000 and later does not cap after colons or numbers followed by punctuation even if you have that option turned on in Tools. You can use the change case command of Shift + F3 immediately after typing the first word to get a cap. I use Instant Text and there's a feature in that program that automatically fixes the cap issue in Word. Otherwise, you need a macro to go through the document and change that as well.
had to manually enter the big
anything that you save as a (I think it's called) SmartBlock (saves directly into a Word document), you have to move manually. I only had about 20-30 of those, so I just did a cut and paste from the Word document directly into Shorthand. I had to change some of the commands (like how to bold or indent). You actually have to set those commands manually in Shorthand. It's a bit confusing on those issues at first, but once you catch on to it, you can do, say, 5 a day, and it won't take too long.
Then you will have to download manually from then on. nm

Delete manually
C\:Documents and Settings
Select the User and there you will find a folder "Favorites" usually with a star icon. Open and delete the links manually in it.
For those that use Vianeta, do you have to manually enter
all that info or is it imported? Don't know how you'd make any money if you had to enter it all manually. Reminds me of the antiquated YOG cottage program.
what if one computer goes out...can you switch to the other manually

I agree with most of this, but in most states you can't lock him out. sm
I agree you should get away from him, especially if there are kids involved, but in most states you're not allowed to lock him out of the house. It's his residence, too, and the police and judges will tell you that he has just as much right to be there as you do. Please be sure to check with a lawyer or with the local police before trying to lock him out of the house.
Lock toolbar is not an option I am given? Any

Which model? Not all have lock keys. sm
I have a Logitech cordless that doesn't have lock keys. Did you try to Google your model to see if somebody else has had the same problem?
Over the door lock boxes
I pick up work from a local family practice and our schedules conflict a lot of times. It is hard to be there exactly when the doctor finishes his dictation and they forget to give me a 30-minute warning since I am about 30 minutes away. Sometimes I have to make a trip every day to fit his schedule. Does anyone know where I can buy an over the door lock box (like what Lab Corp uses to leave blood work, etc.)? I would love for him to leave the transcription tapes, etc., in the box and I pick up and drop off on my schedule so I can get to the work faster and also pick up after office hours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Field Codes
Not sure if this is what you mean, but if you place field codes (CTRL + F9) in the appropriate places in your template, you can jump to them by pressing F11.
Field Codes - yes that's it...
thank you so much. 
Jump Codes
In Word -- go to View - toolbars - check forms. Now on your top toolbar you should see a little box with 'ab' and a check mark next to it. Put your cursor where you want the jump code and click on the 'ab.' Jump code will come in.
You mean ASCII codes? Try here:

Why Time Codes?
Hello,
Time code stamps are used for a variety of purposes. First, it makes it much easier to find where you are in the audio when you are reading through a transcript. For example, a 6-hour medical conference can generate a 300 page transcript. It's not always possible for the Transcriptionist to identify all the speakers, but the end user of the transcript often knows who is speaking by his/her voice. With a time coded transcript, the end user can go directly to the point in the audio that they are interested in.
Also, if you want to create scrolling text with video editing software, you have to give the program time codes. Some companies that do online CME use a scrolling transcript on the page. Time codes let the program know what text to display at what time.
Finally (and this is the application I'm least educated about), after a movie is filmed, the production company often requires a very detailed transcript of the movie, including time codes.
There are probably other applications, but these are the first that come to mind.

Does anyone know how to set stop codes in
Word? TIA!
Stop Codes
Its Ctrl F9 to create the stop. Ctrl F11 takes you through the document.
Stop codes. sm.
What do you use stop codes for? I know how to use jump codes, but how can I incorporate stop codes into transcribing document? TIA.
Need Help W/Stop Codes
I've tried saving the stop codes as part of my template in my AutoCorrect in Word, but whenever I pull in the template, the stop codes are gone. It appears as though they won't save in AutoCorrect. I've also tried saving them into my template in my expansion software, but they disappear in this, also. Can anyone help? Thanks!
ICD9 codes?????
I have a dictator who is giving the ICD9 codes after each diagnoses. Are these usually included in the report??? I know that I have to follow the accout specifics for every account, but there is nothing about this in any of my specifics or standards. I have never run into this before! Any help would be appreciated!!!! Thanks~
Jump codes - sm
Well, that didn't work either. Nothing happens when I do shift+F11 or just F11. Thanks anyway.
sounds like you need a child-proof lock
Cap lock and unlock is driving me crazy
I wonder why the light above caps locked is so small. With the constant need for capitalizing words in this industry, I am constantly backspacing to delete words mistakely capitalized or not capitalized, especially with IT. Does anyone have a cure for this?
No need to lock the cats up. They'll figure it out.
If someone is shooting them with BB's when they wander into someone else's yard, it won't take them too long to figure out to stay away from there. Cats aren't stupid.
I told my neighbors when I moved into my new neighborhood with my 2 long time outdoor cats, "If they bother you, just soak them with the hose and they won't come back." It worked. They sleep in some neighbors yards or gardens, but never venture near the houses they got wet at and we've been here almost 7 years.
I'd give my cats away before I would lock them in the house. Once an outdoor cat, always an outdoor cat.
Otherwise, you just have a miserable indoor cat. 
you're welcome; glad F-lock key worked for you

Creating Jump Codes
Can someone help me, please? I'm trying to set up my own templates and need to create jump codes. Does anyone have any suggestions? I did the Ctrl F9, but when I saved the template and reopened it, the blank symbol was gone. If anyone has suggestions, I am willing to try them. Thanks everyone. Have a blessed day.
Can someone please tell me how to see document codes in Word?..nm

Need Word help again please :) (jump codes)
I posted yesterday about the jump codes. I put the brackets in by ctrl F9 and that worked great. The problem is that once I save it, I have to get the normal back to the screen when I want to use it by going to insert and then file and clicking on that normal. Once it loads the normal, all the brackets I inserted have turned to little square symbols and the F11 function is not working on them anymore.
Any ideas on what else I could do? I have to use the file and then insert though to retrieve the normal.
Thanks in advance!!
Hit alt F9 to show the codes. Did you tick the
formatted text radio button when you added to autocorrect?
For jump codes in MS Word,
I believe that when you are setting up your template you use F9 to create the jump to field, and then use F11 to jump to it when you are transcribing.
If your company does not give you the codes..
which I am sure they will I will be glad to assist you. I can possibly get you the codes tomorrow as I will have my daughter scan and copy it and then email it to me and I will email it to you. Most likely your company will get that to you. Good luck...
bayscribe jump codes -- yes
You set your jump code (mine is ^, can't remember the default) under Bayscribe word Expander settings, tab "Local Configuration" ... near the bottom of the list, "set quick find text" is where you enter your personal ^ and then under "find quick find text" you set your key-combo to take you to the next one ... (mine is shift-control-Y) ...
The big caution is to make sure that your "^" and key combo aren't already in use (or something that might appear legitimately in a report)... and that work for you. I had a problem with the defaults, but I can't remember what it was! Good luck -- works great!
