Autocorrect list of everyday

Posted By: short phrases - where can I find? on 2008-10-20
In Reply to:

I am looking for a list of everyday short phrases that we type alot because I know I am missing some.  Is there a website that has a list?  Also, is there a way to compile a list from the reports we type to show which phrases and words are used the most?  Isn't there software that does this?  Thanks a lot

You can import your AutoCorrect list

Hi Patty,


You can import your AutoCorrect list into Instant Text so you can continue using the list that you have already created.


IT will expand using the font that is currently active in your document.  If you have an entry that you want to be in a certain font every time you expand, you can do that as well using Formatted Entries.


For more information on IT V Pro, please see the link below.  Or you can always give us a call at 800-355-5251.


Kind regards,


Kristen


Printing AutoCorrect List
Does anyone know how to print the autocorrect list on Microsoft Word 2007?  I've searched it on Google, but I keep getting odd articles that don't make any sense to me at all.  If anyone can explain it to me in layman's terms, I would be forever grateful!  Thanks!
Have you ever checked the autocorrect exceptions list to see if you added those letters without
You need to uncheck the automatically add box.
macro to import expansion list into MSWord Autocorrect

Here is my macro that will import your expansions into MSWord.  Your list needs to be in the following format for this macro to work:


tp=the patient


copd=COPD


chf=CHF



There needs to be a hard return at the end of each entry.  If you have any expansions that contain an equal sign or a hard return, you will need to enter those into your autocorrect manually.  Here is the macro:


Sub Add2AutoCorrectList()
Dim AddName, AddValue As String
Dim W, C, A, L, Y, T, N As Long
Dim CountWords As Boolean
Selection.WholeStory: Selection.Collapse
N = ActiveDocument.Words.Count: C = 0: A = 0: T = 0
ScreenUpdating = False
While N > 0
x = Selection.MoveEndUntil(cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward)
    If x = 0 Then
        End
    End If
Selection.MoveEndUntil cset:=("=), Count:=wdForward
AddName = Trim(Selection.Text)
L = Selection.Words.Count
With Selection
    .Delete: .Delete
    .MoveEndUntil cset:=Chr$(13), Count:=wdForward
End With
AddValue = Trim(Selection.Text)
Y = Selection.Words.Count
AutoCorrect.Entries.Add (AddName), Value:=(AddValue)
Selection.Delete , Count:=2
T = L + 2
N = N - T
C = C + 1
A = A + 1
If N < 1000 Then
ScreenUpdating = True
N = ActiveDocument.Words.Count
End If


If A = 100 Then
Application.ScreenRefresh
'ScreenUpdating = True
StatusBar = N & " " & C & " " & " entries processed!"
A = 0
End If
Wend


  
End Sub


One word of warning:  When I posted a line counting macro here some time ago, I could not get a quote mark in the code to post, so the macro as posted would not work, and I had to followup with a post explaining how to correct that.  This macro is a bit more complicated than the other one was, and although I will look at the code as soon as this posts, if it doesn't come through perfectly, and you don't understand my corrections, you can e-mail and I will send it to you.


Also, I wrote a companion macro that will list your autocorrect into a document so that you can import it into another computer or just keep it as a backup in case you lose your normal.dot.


 


Can I transfer instant text word list to autocorrect??
Hi all. Well I have a ton of entries stored in my Instant Text program. The problem is, that now that I am using Editscript version 8 instead of version 6, whenever I use my instant text program, it freezes up on me.. So I am just wondering, is there any way that I can transfer over my IT word lists over to autocorrect in microsoft word?? I think this is the only text Expander I can use with editscript 8. I really appreciate any help with this!!
I know what you mean! Everyday's like the first for us.

I have those days everyday
and have 10 years in as an MT. It seems the dictation has gotten sloppier. It is a DISASTER waiting to happen. I really do not think MTs should be paid by line given we have to struggle through so much, look up almost everything that takes time away from from our productivity.

A union should be formed for MTs, hourly rates ranging from (12.50/hr -30.00/hr depending on experience and time in. These big MT companies would then not be able to rape the MTs of their earnings.
I run scans everyday. Can you look up some

i count blind everyday-it totally sucks!
i work for a local hospital and we have 2 systems, one system can view their lines in realtime and the other side of the department doesn't have any idea what our lines are. we have to wait til the following week for the report to be ran. you can always tell if you made the manager or lead mad that week because your lines will be really low. if you dare to question them then you have to face the rath! they screw with our lines on a daily, sometimes hourly basis. there are a few people that watch their lines by report and catch them doing it and have to fight, and i do mean fight, to get it corrected.
Everyday thing for me. I work till sleepy, then set my SM

phone not my clock to ring. I get about 5 hours every night, have for years.


People get killed EVERYDAY by making bad decisions. If you go to work
driving while you are intoxicated or sleepy you are more likely to get in an accident. Do you deserve it? I dunno. Maybe people should just use their brains and they would not become victims or killed. Your logic is flawed and you are comparing apples to oranges. How about this? If you wear skimpy clothes and get drunk and hang out with drunk people instead of dressing a little more modestly and keeping your mind sober, who is more likely to be raped? It is logical that consequences of your behavior will decide your fate.

2000 lines everyday but one since my kids went back to school.
I can finally get back on a routine and get some work done. Now, if I could just stay off of MTstars! LOL.
Tired of typing 8 hours stright everyday..my hands hurt!

medical abbreviation list and medical drug list
Hi,

Anyone there who could help me out finding the latest abbreviations list.
I even want the latest drug list because my current program does not have many drugs.

So if anyone could suggest anything which is available online for informationd quick look purposes.

any help for medical abbreviation list and medical drug list would be very helpful.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!

Do you back-up your system at the end of the day? What software are you working with?

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?

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!
