Need tips for converting PRD for DOS to Shortcuts for Windows, please. sm
How can I best start "cleaning up" a copy of my beloved PRD for DOS to make for a less-hassle conversion to Shortcut for Windows? Many of the headers in my PRD have special DOS characters for bolding, and I don't think they will be useable. For many of my glossary entries, I use slash marks (i.e., cad/ for coronary artery disease). Are the slash marks a problem in Shortcut? If so, what's a good character to substitute (a "q" maybe??). Thanks for any suggestions. I'm trying to make this conversion in a month just a tiny bit sane.

What is the best expansion software to use
I may be taking a position with them and need to know which program works.
For me I believe it is in the expansion program
It doesn't really matter which one, just USE IT! I don't use it just for reports or canned material, as you said, I do a lot of different accounts and docs. I do use it a TON for words that take time to type!
ie
ttpp as an ow hla wm inad.
26 Keystrokes should be 87:
The patient presents as an otherwise healthy-appearing white male in no acute distress.
See, it's in words, too, not just full sentences.
Hope that helps!
Have you tried just making the whole thing an expansion?
i.e., make an entry and call it pobid and have it expand to p.o. twice a day. Not sure if that would work in autocorrect but it worked for me in DQS, where we had the same problem. Might be worth a try. I have all those entered...poqd, potid, poqid, poq4h, poq46h, etc.

Is the platform compatible with an expansion
I don't mean using the features in MS-Word (Auto-Text, etc.), but something like Smartype or Shorthand? When I interviewed with them a couple of years ago, I was very impressed with them, but I can't fly without an Expander and there were issues with Lotus not counting expanded text with every expander I asked to use with it. It was only for that reason that I did not accept a position with them.
BB-- any luck with that expansion file? nm

She didn't ask how to steal the expansion program itself
She only wants the expansions which were entered by her and were a product of her intellect. I don't sew myself a nice little dress and then send it on to Singer just because I used their machine.

Do they allow you an expansion program or Autocorrect usage? Old posts say they didn't. nm
