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!
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.
Word numbering
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.
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.
Those versions don't even come close to how IT V Pro works.

Can you use the Word autocorrects or only Smartype? What about the Word auto text? tia nm

You can download Shorthand, choose the "capitalize first letter" option. SH works with ExText

Full Word is in the Works "Suite," not plain Works.
Works saves files in a different format, but you can open them in Word if you have the correct filter installed.
Have you tried to close and restart Word?
This may help. Also, check View, Toolbars and see if there are check marks beside like-named toolbars. If not, try the Customize menu at the bottom of that popup menu to see if there is something duplicated there.
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,
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.
MS Word Auto Text
I had inputed a bunch of my own "text expantion" into MS Word Auto Text and went in to work today and they are all gone. It is not the first time this has happened, and then you have to go and input back everything, which is a pain.
Has anyone else experienced this or know why it happens??
I have had this happen - when you close word you should get a message (sm)
to the effect of would you like to save the Normal template - click OK. When you start again you will probable get a message asking if you want to open the new Normal - again click yes. Hope this makes sense!
Wrong. Just up Word, change to 150% and close.
Word will save that setting to your Normal template. Now, open a blank document and you will see that and subsequent documents will be at 150%. Problem solved.
Word expanders vs Auto text
What is the difference between Word Expanders and Auto text? Are they the same thing?
Thanks!

Thank you!
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....
MS Word 2003 auto text
I use Word 2003 with the platform that my company uses. I am able to save autocorrect entries, but whenever I save an autotext entry it is gone the next time I open Word. Is there some Word option I need to click that will enable my entries to be saved? It would save me so much time if this feature worked.
auto correct in word 2007
- Click the Microsoft Office Button
![Button](http://office.microsoft.com/global/images/default.aspx?AssetID=ZA100771021033") , and then click Word Options.
- In the Word Options dialog box, click Proofing, and then click AutoCorrect Options.
Anyone know how to transfer auto corrects from SmarType to word? please..nm

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!
How many WPM do you type with auto corrects/word expander?
I have never tested my speed using my Expander and have no idea how many WPM I type. I became a certified master typist last year at over 100 WPM without my expander. I've been doing this for six years.
I'm really curious what the average is with an expander. TIA.
Auto Text too full-slow MS Word
Has anyone experienced having their Auto Text in MS Word so full that it slows down getting into and out of MS Word Program? This seems to be the problem, because when I accidentally deleted my "Auto Text" entries, my Word program worked fast again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Open Word, click on Auto Correct, then..
click on the words you do not want and click Delete.
Do the settings stay if you change your Word, close it, then open it again without going to your pla
That would tell you if the platform is making the changes to your Word and, if that's the case, talk to your platform tech support.

and you can learn how to create, save, delete, edit entries.
You can highlight the entire list and use the convert text to table option in Word. You can highligh
You'll want to convert with 4 columns because you have a paragraph between each address. That paragraph will wind up in the 4th column. When you're done, you can highlight that column and delete it.
Auto Text entries on word. Is there a way to copy these or print these? Thanks in advance. NM

That only tells the grammar checker to flag spaces. Word does not auto space.

Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
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
Well, Word is easy to buy and easy to install. Word 97 works great. Cheap. SM
I still would not work anywhere I could not use a spell checker with grammar checker and a Steadman's Medical Spell Checker.
IF they want people to TRANSCRIBE MEDICAL REPORTS, then I guess they better get the programs they need.
It's like probably 110% easier to buy and install Word 97 than to try to program their own programming. And, yes, I do mean Microsoft Word 97. Why? Because you can install it unlimited times, in case you need to install the operating system again. And it has a few features that Microsoft, in its un-wisdom, took away in Word 2000 and 20003 and 2007. So, yes, I'd go with Word 97 for its cheapness and it works better than the later versions. Just my opinion, with 20 years experience being an MT. So what if they "don't have it" on their computer? It's easy to get.
Anything that works with Word..NM

Word comes with Works as an add-in.
Look in the discs that came with your computer. You should already have it.
It works within the Word
Program you already have on your computer. It pulls up and opens your word, so any Autotext, etc. you have, you can still use. Hope this helps!
If you got Works alone, you don't have Word, just the
Works word processor. It looks like Word but doesn't have all the features of the full version. Full versions of Word only come with the Works Suites and the latest version of the Suite only goes to Word 2002.
Smartype only works in DOS WP5.1 and MS-Word
and if you are trying to use Smartype in a cottage program that has stripped out some of Word's features, Smartype will behavior improperly or not at all. It will also behavior improperly in MS-Word 2003 due to a change Word made that is not compatible with Smartype. Last time I talked to Joe, Stedman was not making this fix a priority so I reinstalled MS-Word 2000 to avoid the conflict.
MS Works and MS Word are NOT compatible. SM
If you do a document in MS Works and try to open it as an MS Word document all you will get is machine code. So if you are transcribing for someone who wants the files and they have MS Word, they will not be able to do anything with them (except pull their hair out).
MS Word is included in MS Works now sm
What Dell probably met was that MsWorks includes a full version of MS Word. It's the less expensive way to get Word without having to buy Ms Office. The student version of MS Office cannot be upgraded, btw, so don't get that.
No, I do not have Word, Just Works that does not count spaces.

Wanting to buy used Word,(is this legal? ) only have works.

I use CS and ST, works great. The CS that I use is actual Word -sm
I have heard that Chartscript net, which is the newer version, is different - more like a box that you type in instead of actual Word. I have worked for 2 places using CS now, and it implements the actual Word program. As long as it's not Chartscript net, you should be okay. When working, we're told to open our own version of Word first before we even log into CS because it will save anything there if the report you are working on is lost somehow. When I type in CS, which looks just like my Word, ST is up and running right in CS, just like when typing in my own Word program. No problems with it at all. I know what you mean.....I would haaate to work without ST too. Hope it works out for you!
I have Word 2003. works spiffy.
I do have the small office version.
google works wonders as does word board......nm

You'd be limiting yourself. It only works in MS Word 2000 & 2002.
Lots of people have had problems getting Smartype to work in Word 2003 and you can forget 2007. It doesn't work in different platforms either. You'd be much better off looking at ShortHand or Instant Text.
What Word program works best with Vista? Has to be less than 2007. nm

Smartype only works in specific Word versions.
You want an Expander that works in all programs and a lot of platforms, such as Instant Text or Shorthand.
