After literally two days of working on this, finally got my glossary to my personal computer and into IT V Pro which I upgraded (thank you Christina!!!).  But my entries are all garbled. 

I hope this isn't some safety feature used by my national to keep us from using company glossaries though I did create this myself over three years.  

Job starts in three days (radiology) and I so need this glossary.  Hate to start over again...as you well know.

Anyone?  TIA :)

Email me, and I'll send you a copy of mine.  If you send me your phone number, I'll call you and help you get it set up as well. 

I have used this glossary for 9+ years.  I started using it when I had been an MT for about 2.5 years.  It has helped me make a lot of money over time and every year I have used it I do a bit better than the previous year, income wise.  I am happy to share it and anything else I know about expanders.

I work for a national that put IT V Pro on my system and it contains all my expanders.  I have just taken a PT job and will be using my other computer and IT III pro.  Is it possible to insert the IT III PRO floppy into my national's computer and transfer the glossary onto it?

And, in worst case scenario, I will be purchasing IT V Pro.  I have scanned the site but do not see where "Buy Now" is an option.  The forum doesn't appear to have a sales section either.

Thank you for your help - starting a new job is both exciting and challenging. 

I have been using Instant Text for quite a few years, but wanted to switch to Stedman's Smart Type.  My co-worker uses it on the same account and is doing on average 50 lines per hour more than me.  She and I type about the same speed so I'd at least like to give it a try. 

Does anyone know if it is possible to convert my IT glossary into Smart Type?  I guess I'm an old dog, but I just can't bring myself to  start from scratch with a new glossary.  Thank you!

I was reading the board and saw the mention of using your glossary.  I did a dumb thing....My hard drive crashed and I had not backed up my glossary so I am trying to recreate...so the addition of your glossary would be a big help  TIA.

I'm going from DocQScribe to an Ex-Text platform and I have to reinput the phrases in one-by-one.   Should I do this as the phrases come up?  Is it preferable to just make some time to re-type the whole list at multiple settings? 

Is there a way to convert an Instant Text glossary to work with Smartype? 

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I recently copied one of my IT glossaries to a different computer by this method using a CD ROM disk (a jump drive would also work):

Scroll down the page where it says "moving IT to a new computer":

Instant text actually comes loaded with dozens of different glossaries stored into a separate glossary folder.  For instance, to name a few:  Medwords.glo, (glo is a filename for glossary), Legal.glo, ER.glo, GenMed.glo, etc.  I could go on.  After I imported my PRD+ expanders, I created a folder for it and just named it (after my first name), Toni.glo.  So when I pull up IT, I just click on my Toni.glo file and go to work.

Ironically, I'm looking into ShortHand because even though IT has SO, SO many different functions...so many that I will never learn in this lifetime, that in itself is the only con...other than the price $189.00 and no trial period is offered!

Personally, the best advice I can give is to visit the productivity board and browse through it.  Don't get me wrong, IT has to be the most advanced expansion program on the market, but again, being so advanced is it's only pitfall.  If you are like me, an IC paid on production, I just don't have the time to sit around and play with it.  I hope I didn't confuse you even more.  Good luck!
