Is anyone else old enough to remember that some typewriters had a special key for 1/2 and 1/4 (you used the shift key to get the 1/4)? I remember being thrilled that I could type it properly! I think it was the one that currently has ` and ~.

I've had occasional similar problems where it's been related to my keyboard running amok. In those cases, I have to unplug and replug in (it's a PS2 keyboard with a USB convertor) and things go back to normal. Also, occasionally, my space bar will go crazy and just insert spaces and it looks like it's wiped out all the words when in actually it has really just added 20 pages of spaces!! It only happens to me maybe once a month or so, though, and I've never lost an entire document, but that's because I've almost gotten used to it so that it doesn't startle me quite as much and I can take immediate corrective action.

Into or In to?
"Into is a preposition that has many definitions, but they all generally relate to direction.
On the other hand, in by itself can be an adverb, preposition, or adjective (and to by itself is a preposition or an adverb). Sometimes in and to just end up next to each other.
Maybe examples will help!

Thanks so much for your help. I've been transcribing for 5 months and this is the 1st time I've had a doc use this term. Oh, and in my original post, I meant to say "dictating," not "dictation."

Is this the right one? I have looked them up but it is still a little unclear which one to use. Could anybody explain more clearly how to differentiate?

There are five distinct words here. When “affect” is accented on the final syllable (a-FECT), it is usually a verb meaning “have an influence on”: “The million-dollar donation from the industrialist did not affect my vote against the Clean Air Act.”
Occasionally a pretentious person is said to affect an artificial air of sophistication. Speaking with a borrowed French accent or ostentatiously wearing a large diamond ear stud might be an affectation. In this sort of context, “affect” means “to make a display of or deliberately cultivate.”
Another unusual meaning is indicated when the word is accented on the first syllable (AFF-ect), meaning “emotion.” In this case the word is used mostly by psychiatrists and social scientists— people who normally know how to spell it.
The real problem arises when people confuse the first spelling with the second: “effect.” This too can be two different words. The more common one is a noun: “When I left the stove on, the effect was that the house filled with smoke.” When you affect a situation, you have an effect on it.
The less common is a verb meaning “to create”: “I’m trying to effect a change in the way we purchase widgets.” No wonder people are confused. Note especially that the proper expression is not “take affect” but “take effect”—become effective. Hey, nobody ever said English was logical: just memorize it and get on with your life.
The stuff in your purse? Your personal effects.

affect/effect
Subject: affect/effect
affect - a verb meaning to influence; a nounce meaning an expressed or observed emotion or feeling. "The treatment affected the symptoms." "The patient displayed a flat affect."
effect - a verb meaning to bring about; a noun meaning result. "The medication effected relief." "The effect of the treatment was pronounced."
Also, your sentence, in both instances, should be effect.
