Rename your normal.dot file to something else then restart Word. It will create a new file.

Do not rename the file.
The MSO1033 .acl file is the English file. You'll see other files with different numbers representing different languages. It's a bit confusing because Word has quite a few .acl files. When trying to locate the file you need, it's easier to find if you add an entry and search for the file by the date you created the entry.
Look up AutoCorrect and AutoText in the help file.
They are two very different features. If you get confused, post back with your questions.
Since you're starting from scratch, you are far better off purchasing a true text Expander that works in all of your programs instead of the features that only work in Word. Instant Text will import entries from most any program and you can take it with you from platform to platform or any other program.
Copy your autocorrect file before you upgrade. I did't do that, wish I had. nm

Well, I love some Autocorrect features--best thing about Word-- and I backup *.acl file---so I never lose it. Just replace it in the Windows folder (copy and paste my newest backup *.acl file--which I copy once a day--into the Windows folder on the C:drive). takes less than a minute, never "lose" Autocorrect anyumore. For years I did, though, before I figured out where it was. Just search for *.acl on your computer and copy the file that comes up as owner.acl or whatever you named your computer-- and then put it on the desktop as the backup file, jsut make a folder or whatever, newest backup acl-- along with Normal.dot-- and copy these once a week onto a disk.
The file type
I ran a virus scan, and there is no virus detected. The file type is application/octet-stream. I contacted the service to see if they can tell me what I am doing wrong. I probably have to download a winzip program or something.
Help..I lost my word file. How can I retreive a file that has been changed? sm
I was working on a large file and had saved it in Word. I then went back to work on the file and hit a key that made the page go blank. When I went to close the document it asked me to save any changes on the document. I answered yes, and now when I click on that document it is all blank! Shouldnt the previous info saved be there, even if the current stuff is not? Please help me!! Thank you
Depends on the file format of the Short Cuts file.
ShortHand comes with a utility file that can import various formats. You can get that file with the trial download of SH.

Exactly why type of file are you working with? sm
You say you're trying to download a "wav file"; is that the correct file type? I don't work with PC-Dart so I'm not familiar with the file extension that program generates. Check the file extension (.wav, .mp3, .vox) and make sure that it is a file type that can be downloaded automatically by Express Scribe. Click on Settings and then Automatic Incoming. Select the incoming method that you are using for these files, then click on the Properties button. on the left-hand side of the screen, there are only four types of files that will be automatically (or manually) downloaded directly into ES. They are .dct, .wav, .mp3, and .aif. If the PC-Dart files are not one of these four file types, you will have to download those files to a folder on your computer and then load them into ES from that folder.
You want also want to make sure that you can play the PC-Dart file types. To do this, open Express Scribe, click on Settings, then File Types. There are several file types listed; make sure that the file type you want to play is checked.
You can replace the 2007 Normal.dotm with your old normal.dot file. sm
Open the old normal.dot in Word and save as the new file format.
The easy way is to load the oldest version first and then upgrade.
You can save the SH file in a text file and import to IT that way. sm
You may have to do some cleanup in the SH text file, but it sure would be faster than re-entering them all manually.
File taxes under the name on file w Social Security....
Name on W2 doesn't have to match, but your tax return has to match SS records. They don't want your marriage license or anything else. Did that for 13 years as instructed by IRS. Didn't have to change it with SS until state changed rules requiring drivers license to match SS records. Still use my maiden name in some limited circumstances.
What type of file does your software play?
Maybe you can try a CD (mp3) format or rip a CD into a format that your software does play.
Try this link for a sample voice file or Google the phrase sample voice file
http://www.bytescribe.com/speech_recognition/index.htm
Do you have the voice file type checked for

Program called Switch can change one type of file into another.
p
try express scribe you can download for free. what type file is it?nm
;
an .exe file is not a voice file
I'm no techie, but it sounds like they might've sent the wrong file by mistake. Or could it be a program you need for testing/working for them that they sent? What is the name of the file (if it is something you can say here)?
I use autocorrect with Extext. Just have to check the replace sm
as you type box in the autocorrect box each time I start ExText. Hope you find a solution! 
Maybe they are going to file
a Chapter 11 (I think that's the number) where they do a corporate restructuring. I'm hardly an expert on bankruptcy law and stuff, but, if I'm not mistaken, some of the airlines have filed bankruptcy, are still flying, and trying to get back on top of things. Businesses do it all the time. Of course, it would help with MQ if those fat cats at the top would stop giving themselves million dollar bonuses. Not saying that would put them in the black, but it would be a little easier to hear when they send memos out saying MQ is losing money.
Bad DSS file
Why do doctors think we are miracle workers? Or better yet, mindreaders? A bad connection is a bad connection. Unless you have some miracle machine like on CSI, etc. (haha), there's nothing here that can be done. Doctor's loss as he will not re-dictate it, but sadly enough - you're the one who takes the blame. You horrible transcriptionist, you. :-) Good luck.
This is the help file you need.

They each have their own file SM
I like the idea about the macro, but am not sure how to do it as there are headers and footers on the original template.

BOS pdf file?
Does anyone have the BOS pdf file they could spare a copy of? I just need to print out a couple of pages. I used to have it but have no idea what i did with it... I think I lost it when my hard drive crashed. TIA!
I did file by file BUT
My files were every note for the day of that particular doctor. I would only divide it up by doctor and their date of service. That should be good enough. It is good for them to have for expensing, and if they do question something, the counts are right there in front of them. If they want the detail it is there, if not they can decide. If for some reason they tell you they don't need the details, get it in writing via e-mail or something.
have pdf file for ...
0420, 0421 and 0424 email me I'll be glad to send it.
wav file - sm
I guess I am old school. haha
.acl file
Add something to your Autocorrect. Search for .acl file and backup the one that has today's date/time (that would reflect the addition you made to Autocorrect). Depending on your operating system, I would make note of where that file is located.
Did you file at all???
If you filed and just mainly forgot to mail the check then they have been hounding you so imply send the check or let them take it out of your state return this year -- they will not touch your federal return. If you did not file but prepared them, go back into Turbo and just print out and send it with your 2007 and and they will send you whatever is owed between the two, taking the 2006 out. I would simply file both at the same time and pay with a check for 2006 and let the return come. Remeber there will be interest and penalty. Good luck.
exe file
That is an executable file, like to install a program. If you will click settings in express scribe, it shows you what files it will play.
EXE.File s/m
"Exe" file is not a voice file - it is a program file - and may be a virus. I would double check with the service if they sent the correct file.
Tell them they can't have it in one file.
They shouldn't be losing work that often. Put each pt in its own file.
How was the file sent to you?
I'm thinking that if it was e-mail, can't you say to "save as" or once you download it, "open with"?
I may (again) be showing my computer iliteracy, but I really want to help you!
Right out of the Help File in ES.
Set User's Decryption Key
Express Dictate, Pocket Dictate, DialDictate and WebDictate can encrypt the recordings prior to transmission to protect security and privacy. If this has been done, you must enter the same key in Express Scribe to decrypt the audio. The key is based on the user id of the sender (obtained when you register Express Dictate or DialDictate). If you have not yet registered, use the id 0.
All I had to do to get this information for you was hit the HELP key at the bottom of the screen. If your voice files were NOT encrypted using any of the above-mentioned methods, you will need to decrypt the file before importing it into ES.
File name?
I used to use Smartype and I know I have it installed on this computer but heck if I can find the patch file. You don't happen to know the file name do you?
wav file
If the file is now on your computer, right click and depending on what you use, you might see an "open with" option, in which case click on that and see if the option "compressed zip folders" comes up. This should open it.
not sure I just know it is a file in my...
computer for DocQScribe word expander. Supervisor sent e-mail saying how to update this file but can't find.
If they use the same file
You can interchange if they use the same file, i.e. spf file. If they do both use spf, you can open up both programs and just drag your files over, very simple, takes seconds. If they don't have the same file, I wouldn't mess with it unless some IT person knows the protocol.
WAV file?
I have been asked to transcribe a speech for an area company. How can it be recorded/saved to disk so that I can use my foot pedal to transcribe it? I do have a WAV pedal from using Bayscribe in the past but I have no idea how to get it to function without Bayscribe. I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
big file
Thanks. I will try that.
Definitely file an appeal
A lot of times if you file appeals, your insurance company will readjust and allow for "special circumstances". It is worth a try especially if you send in information documenting it being an emergency
Thank you all!!! I will file an appeal for sure. nm

Any way to clean up a BAD dss file??
Doctor dictated despite the fact that he had a tremendously BAD phone connection. I can only hear a word every few sentences, the rest is loud humming and static. I have a KOSS equalizer that didn't help at all. Anyone know of a miracle program or something that might salvage this recording, as he doesn't want to re-dictate it? THanks! 
How do you open up that .lex file to....sm
copy/paste it into MS Word? When I try opening it, it asks what format do I want and every option I've tried hasn't worked.
You can either go to File, New to create your own
dictionary; or you can go to File, Open to open one that you've downloaded. There are tons of free dictionaries out there, but it might be best to make your own with your own shortcut naming technique to be able to remember it better.
File anyway -- were you really an employee? (sm)
So many services classify their MTs as employees when they really aren't. Look at the IRS site: did you have control over how you did the work, use your own tools? Did the client pay you directly or the MTSO? Did you have input on when you were paid, or did the MTSO say I pay on such-and-such a schedule? Were you able to subcontract your work to others? Was the TAT based on the MTSO's convenience or the client's actual demands?
If you can make a good argument that you were actually working more like an employee, your state unemployment office may rule that you were, entitling you to unemployment. If the IRS agrees, the MTSO will have to pay part of your taxes, social security, etc.
The bar association in your state may offer referrals to attorneys who will provide a low-cost initial consultation.
If you need a few dollars in the interim, see if there is a plasma donation center near you. Where I am, one can pick up $50/week, paid immediately.
Good luck.
It is the .acl file - please see link

How do you do dictation from a wav file?sm
How do you receive and send dictation on a wav file???? I know that may be a silly question, just wondering. Thanks!
I believe if you file an extension you do not have to pay now - sm
that is the whole point of filing an extension....BUT they nail you with interest and penalties for the late filing. So you might want to figure out what you are in for before you do an extension, or make sure you file quickly after April 15 to lessen the interest charges.
It's been awhile, but can the help file or
associated paperwork with the softwork help with basic and more complicated questions? I seem to remember that their customer support was pretty good, too.
