you backspace a lot. Click the exceptions button and go through all of the tabs in the dialog box and delete the words you don't want in there. Uncheck automatically add words on all of the tabs. That's the setting that will add words and change them to no proofing.

Have you ever checked the autocorrect exceptions list to see if you added those letters without
You need to uncheck the automatically add box.
Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most

exceptions
Well, there are exceptions to every rule, and as always, the few ruin it for the many.
I am a newbie, even less, I am still a student, an online student. And yes, I am hoping to work from home, and bring in any amount of money I can.
I am not trying to step on anyones toes, insult anyone, or the like. Don't think this is an easy profession, never did. I was a paralegal and a CNA before I stayed home with the kids.
Anyway, I agree with the negativity on here. On the other hand, I have also learned alot and got a lot of great info from some members of t his board.
Sorry y'all feel that way. Guess I can't really blame ya. :)
and there are so many exceptions to all those rule! lol
that's the english language for ya! I really don't know.
Maybe there are exceptions per client.
One client I has uses part of the BOS, other things they ignore.
Tell her NO exceptions, work has to be back. If she is not
able to do the work don't give it to her. You wouldn't tolerate it with the other MTs and I sure which I had an account that wouldn't drop me if work was that late. Send her (if you haven't already) a form where you state TAT and ask for her commitment on a monthly basis. You can state in the form that failure to meet TAT could/would result in termination. She is taking advantage of you but only because you allow her too.
Maybe only give her work 2 days a week and give her only an amount that she seems to be doing currently. If you give her less work maybe she will be able to meet TAT.
Exceptions to everything but majority parents

There are exceptions when Word won't cap after periods, like in numbers or after colons.

Personally, I think the books are a waste of money, with a few exceptions. sm
These days, I would get the CD instead of the book, if that option were available.
That said, I don't see the need for, nor can I justify the expense of, the standard reference series, like Stedman's. For the most part, anatomy doesn't change from year to year, and neither does the vast majority of the terminology. Of course, there are new procedures, new terms, etc., but chances are your book won't be up to date on those. So, a ratty old (cheap) used copy might be handy, but the Internet is much faster (provided you know how to use it properly and don't just accept any ol' c--p you find :-).
At most, I'd recommend (A) Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words (or whatever they're calling it in its latest incarnation), and perhaps the Stedman's word book pertaining to your speciality, if you have just one or two.
Otherwise, save your money.
You'll need a lab words book and maybe the Derm and Immunology Words..nm

those are exceptions to the rule and those are KING-PIN drug dealers, not the middle men who run
the drugs. If you have an EDUCATION and make enough money you don't have to deal drugs. The kids in ghettos running the drugs who are getting busted are doing this because they have no education and nothing else to do to make money. THEM's the proven statistics.
You are talking about apples and oranges. Yeah there is a temporarily rich meth guy living in a nice house but the majority of the rich guys are using punk kids with no education to sell the drugs. They aren't their on the corner in the ghetto dealing their own drugs.
Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd
edition). I never buy drug books anymore. Waist of money in my opinion. New drugs come out so often, it's best to use the web.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

The generalization is the real picture. There are exceptions to the generalization but
people are not generalizing things that are not true. I visited a friend who lived in a trailer park and it was very bleak and depressing and that was without red neck loud neighbors.
I put them all in my autocorrect so I only have to look them up once..nm

under autocorrect
It has an option to check to capitalize the first word in a sentence.
AutoCorrect
I discovered (or rather, re-discovered) how to use Auto Correct to Save entire documents that can be called up with just one or a few letters (or numbers). Highlight the text IN
YOUR DOCUMENT, then go to AutoCorrect. Select Formatted text (if it isn't the default, I think it may be when you do this) and then you can save whole blocks of text.
I also recommend Instant Text. There's an importer program and I used it to transfer all my old DOS-based PRD shortcut files to Instant Text. But if you can't afford another program or work somewhere where all you have is Word, AutoCorrect is great....that's all I know at the moment, I haven't used the macros feature yet. I actually am an in-house Transcriptionist for now, though my job may be shipped offshore soon and I'm trying to refresh my memory as to available tools.....Hope this helps...

Does anyone know if you can make a copy of your AutoCorrect words and transfer them from one computer to another?
Thanks!
AutoCorrect
I have version 2003 on both computers.

If you type in what you need in bold then highlight it, then go into autocorrect, and put it in what you want it to be.
A way to use AutoCorrect in WP
You could use Instant Text V Pro, an Expander that works with both.
AutoCorrect lists can be converted into an Instant Text glossary with a few clicks. Instant Text follows you with your glossaries wherever you need them.
See link below.
You can use Autocorrect.

Is there any way to move all your Word Autocorrect shortcuts from one computer to another? TIA
Help!!! My AutoCorrect is not
functioning properly . . . I know I've read on here before that AutoCorrect has limitations, but what has happened is that only my doctor's addresses and one other short are working. With all the other shorts I had stored, they are still there, just do not work when I type the short. I've searched for the .acl files without success, and had decided to go ahead and start re-entering the shorts (ugh!). Anyway, when I begin entering a short, it is already in there, so I am just replacing rather than creating a new one. The short then will work fine in my Word document. Also, I should mention that when I go in through tools to AutoCorrect I am not seeing the shorts (except the ones mentioned above that do work, including those that came with my MS Office 2000), so I am only seeing them when I go to enter it as a new one and, again, it says replace and the short is there.
I am baffled by this, other than from what I have read I may have done something to the Normal.dot template in Word . . . I just don't know, and any help you guys can offer would be much appreciated.
TIA!!! 
Add it into your autocorrect (sm)
it is a Word-based platform, works the same way. Hope this helps.
What about autocorrect
What if you put the entries into Word's autocorrect. That might make them usable in ExText. I have never worked on ExText but in other Word-based programs it has worked for me in the past.
Autocorrect
Does anyone know how many entries autocorrect will store in Word?
I used to use only AutoCorrect before, so with
an expander, I'm really lost. I never really worked for a national until this past year or being paid by the line, so I've really upset over this and really don't know the "secret" to getting high line counts.
I was just checking my shortcuts for the past few days and I must have 3 or 4 different shortcuts for the expanded terms. I'm trying to get them consistent now.
I checked my Expander this afternoon and saw the same expansions with different shorts, so I decided to copy and paste the most often used phrases to word and print them out, put them by my screen one alphabet letter at a time; i.e., use A consistently until I get them down pat, then tomorrow, B, etc. for those terms I know are used the most often, but may take a few months.
I haven't tried it yet but do you think this will work? I hope so, as I am spending as much time working on my expander as I am working.
Thank you for all your comments and suggestions.

If you accidentally hit your "insert" key, that will effect your autocorrect function.

I changed to a new computer and i am wondering how to copy my autocorrect ShortHand to my new computer.
Thanks

I found this information a while back. I have the location of my own files in blue and the file names in parentheses. It would probably be different on your computer. These are just sketchy notes I kept. If this is unclear, you can find information online, which is where I found this.
q To find out where your “regular” templates are stored in Word, select Tools + Options + File Locations, and note the paths listed under “User Templates” and “Workgroup Templates.” AutoCorrect entries saved without formatting are stored in an acl file; whereas entries saved with formatting are stored in Normal.dot. (Show hidden files to locate these folders and files.)
C:Documents and SettingsOwnerApplication DataMicrosoftOffice (MSO1033.acl)
C:Documents and SettingsOwnerApplication DataMicrosoftTemplates (Normal.dot and templates)
The best thing to do for the future is get an expander, since your typing speed will greatly improve. And transfering to another computer is also easier. Hope this helps!
I put it in AutoCorrect
I have all of my abbreviations in AutoCorrect and then when you type ddd all you have to do is hit the spacebar and it expands it for you.
I have it on autocorrect
LOL... I know it's wrong, and I have "alot" to "a lot" on my autocorrect in Word, and I almost always make it two words when "on my own" but I figured once again I was just being too anal about the petty stuff and I let it slide. Of course, that's when you get called out, right? I don't think I have ever typed or seen noone -- that would bug the heck out of me!
don't put the ; in the autocorrect
just while typing put ; in front of the yo...like this:
35;yo
and it should come out looking like 35-year-old.
Again, Thanks Cheri!

I just use the Auto Correct feature in Word. I keep a list of all the ones I put in it and I reference it until I can remember it. I try to keep it simple.
lx = lower extremity edema
hcho = hypercholesterolemia
inds = indicates
rrar = regular rate and rhythm
so on and so forth. I programmed the words or pharses the doctors I work for use most often. After I got those settled and started implementing them into my everyday transcribing, I started adding ones for long words that arent used as often, but as easy to remember:
ger = gastroesophageal reflux
shb = shortness of breath
But, seem I use Auto Correct and not a real expander, I have to be careful of what I program into it.
I would write down what you program into it and reference it as often as you need until you remember them. I adivse not to go nuts and program a million things at first. Start by programming extremely long words or words and phrases you hear over and over for the account(s) you work on.
Need autocorrect for cc to mL and also cc: Thanks!
My mind is not working right how to do one without affecting the other!
Thanks for the help

Could anyone tell me how to move my autocorrect entries and autotext entries to another computer? I will be typing at my clinic's satellite office and would like to take my shortcuts with me but I am unsure if this is possible. Thanks
using autocorrect
found a new way to use autocorrect by turning Inscribe on first and minimizing the screen. Then typing the file in Microsoft Word and then cutting and pasting it into Inscribe.
Autocorrect
I used to use autocorrect and still do, but I also used to use auto text and have lost a lot of the exams I put in auto text, so now I am making an individual file in MSword for those exams. I can't afford to be lose anymore short cuts. Time is money.
Autocorrect help please!
Hi!
Everytime I add something to autocorrect it works until I close my program. When I go back into it my new entries are not there. Any suggestions? This is driving me insane!
autocorrect
Do you back-up your system at the end of the day? What software are you working with?
Autocorrect?
Are you talking about Autocorrect? I do have that but I think it has many limitations. I have never liked that there are only 200-something characters you can type but rather have to use the recording device.
Its just like Autocorrect isn't it?
Expanderic is just like autocorrect isn't it? Does it have suggestions? 
AutoCorrect
I use the AutoCorrect feature in Word as an expander. The problem I am having is that this feature no longer turns on automatically when I open Word. Does anyone know how to change this? It used to work correctly but no longer does. Thanks!
AutoCorrect
That is the problem. I need to check replace text as you type every time I log into Word. I didn't have to do that before.
AutoCorrect
Yes, I am working in Dictaphone EXT but I have been working in this platform since November and this is a new problem.
AutoCorrect
That worked. Thanks!
there is also a way to do it in Autocorrect,
but I do not know how?
Do you mean Word AutoCorrect? (sm)
Please don't rely on that as an Expander -- once you get above 2,000 abbreviations it is notorious for crashing.
Intant Text (Textware Solutions) is the best expander because it's the only one you'll ever need. It works with practically any platform, so you can take your expander file with you and not waste time setting up a new one. It effortlessly imports expansion files from almost every other program (including DocQScribe and PRD+); if your former program is not supported, the techies at Textware will usually translate it for you and email it to you.
Don't be scared off by the marker key nonsense and the ludicrous instructions in the manual from Cheryl Flanders and others explaining how to gradually convert to that method.
The programmer had in his mind one way to use it, but most MTs I've trained have just used the mode that emulates traditional Expanders and been perfectly happy. Want to add a new abbreviation? Simply highlight, press Alt-=, and your new phrase is entered with the abbreviation already suggested.
Harriet's Productivity Talk forum is your best source for this information.
limits in AutoCorrect
The limits are determined by the amount of memory in your system. The more memory you have, the less like you are to reach a limit in the # of entries.
