Thanks

I am a former nurse, but many years ago.  I'm not even sure why I paid the $95 to renew my license last year, cause I'm pretty sure I'll never work as a nurse again.

As for the 635 line count, that was during my best hour, one hour, one great dictator.  I just happened to be lucky enough to have several of his reports to edit in a row.  If I had a job where I edited reports from dictators like him all the time, I would be in MT heaven.

I have the Instant Text expander, but I still don't know how to make macros.  Well, I had instructions for making macros in Word, but wasn't able to get it to work.  So far, I just make simple shortcuts like chfx for congestive heart failure.  And, I've saved standard report samples for some of the docs who say basically the same thing all the time.  I do understand the backspace backspace command; it would be a great help to have that as a shortcut.  Thanks!!
