It depends on your version of Word. Which one are you working in

and which version of Windows? Later versions no longer include the WP5.1 filter but you can use the old one if you still have old installation CDs. You can also download the filter from the link below.

With autonumbering turned on, Word 2000 and later will automatically indent your list. You cannot turn off the indent, however, you can press Alt + Shift + left arrow to demote the list to the left margin. You can also create your own numbered style with no indent.
What is the version of word for windows that works best for you? Still working off 2000.

Works is a dumbed down version of Word and Excel. You get the full version of Word in the Suite.
The Works Suite is a cheaper way of getting a full version of Word if you don't want or need the other applications in Office.
If you picked the correct Word version at installation, if you pull up a blank Word page & do an inc

it is attached to your version of Word. Open Word and it'll be on your tool bar. NM

what version of Word do you have? Here's a link for Word 2002 -sm
This looks like a long and drawn out thing to do, but it's not that hard really.

When I did it, I checked and found that I had the support template already in the folder, so I was able to skip down to "Back up your AutoCorrect entries on source computer." It's named support.dot and is found here:

C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOffice10Macros

Just following the instructions closely, it was really easy.

If you don't have Word 2002, I think there are other methods avaialable.

Here's the link:

Did you just install 2003, or was it working with it before and now frozen? I have old version but

To RockinMT...am curious..what version of ExSpeech are you working on?
I think they are up to 7.5 now.  Just wondering if you are working on an older version.  According to Nuance, the new version is supposed to be better.  I have not tried it myself but am about to and need input on it.  Thanks!
Which version of Word are you using?

If you are using Word 2003, I HIGHLY recommend you disable autocorrect and anything that would automatically insert anything based on an expansion system within Word.  There is a known problem (on MS-Word's end) that these 2 programs compete for expansions and Word can lock up, causing you to lose up to your entire report.  I've been in touch with several people trying to resolve this issue but it is on Microsoft's end, not Smartype.  Any prior version of MS-Word does not have this issue.  Just be sure you don't have the same expansions set up for both Word and Smartype.  I loved my ST with Word 2000.  I'm on a platform where I can no longer use ST but I am slowly importing all my entries into a different expansion program.

What version of Word is it? (nm)

MS Word version

What version of MS Word are you using and do you have it and Windows (not VISTA--extext not compatible with Vista) upgraded?  This should have been checked when tech support did original install for you but maybe they didn't check. Make sure your operating system has all upgrades it should and that MS Word has all the upgrades it should, too, then reboot, make sure nothing opens up or is open after you reboot.  Then go to Windows Explorer, C drive, then docnet (these are your ExText Word Client folders).  You are going to do a clean install, so delete the following folders and no others:  Dump, offlinedoc, recovery, templates, transnet, workinggroup.  If you delete the entire docnet folder you will delete all of extext and will NOT be able to reinstall, so only the folders above should be deleted. Reboot again.  You also want to make sure you don't have any old temp files sitting on your hard drive; these can affect how your programs run.  You can check this by doing a search on your C drive (assuming drive is C), for *.tmp.  Make sure again that nothing is opened and delete those files.  I would do this after deleting the above folders but before reinstalling Extext. Make sure nothing opens up again or is opened, and reinstall Extext again.  This should clear things up for you, and if that doesn't work, I would definitely contact tech support.  Extext is not supposed to work right if you open up Word first. Extext should be opening Word for you, sometimes you can get a runtime error if you exit from the VPN before extext has disconnected.


Even though you exit from Extext, and you should never exit using the X in the corner, it takes a few seconds for the last file to upload, so it is better to exit from extext, leave the vpn connected, check email or do somthing else and then disconnect the vpn.  Also, if you were doing a control S to look at a document and left that document open, then control N'd your working document, and then tried to start a new document when the screen pops up, you will get a runtime error. 


Not in my version of Word...?
I do not find "speller type" option/window where you are saying it should be - ?!    BTW, I have uninstalled Word Pro and gone back to plain old Word 2003. 
You are using your version of Word. sm
Yes, your auto correct feature works and yes you scan use an Expander of your choice that is compatible with Word.

Which version of Word?
You can turn on auto numbering or you can assign a keyboard shortcut to a numbering style.
On my Word version it's this way

Try:


Word - Format - Autoformat - options - autoformat as you type - check box for numbering in that field.


What version of Word? sm
Try Ctrl + A to highlight the entire document if the template already has text in the document area only, then go to the Font dialog box and choose the font and size you want, then click on the Default button so it also changes the original template. If there is no text in the document area, just go to the Font dialog box at the beginning of the document and follow the same steps. I am assuming the original template is a .dot file. When you close the document, you will get a message asking if you want to save changes to the template. Be sure to check the yes box.

You do not say which version of Word you are using but if you open--sm
File, Print, and in the box 'print what' click on the down arrow and choose key assignments. Sorry, I do not use templates much so maybe someone else can answer that, or go the 'help' and you may find the answer there. Hopes this helps
What Version of Word do you like? 2000 or?
I'm getting a new computer pretty soon and am wondering what version of Word to get with it. I am only familiar with Word 97 and I like some of the things about that.

I need a version that will automatically CAPITALIZE after a period. Couldn't live with that.

Thanks for all your help. Couldn't make it without my MT buddies!
Word version Autocorrect - thanks! (nm)

Sorry to confuse -- what version of Word are you using?

The version I use does not use my word autocorrect but has
its own. I have to turn mine off or they both come in at the same time with words within words.
I have an older version of word, so
I type 65- and then use Expander yo for year-old and also have yobf, yowf (black female, white female), etc.
I don't have a current version of Word, so I don't know if -- sm
...there's an option in the settings there, but I'm assuming it's taking one of the standard Windows sounds for that "ding" you're hearing (perhaps the sound Microsoft calls "Asterisk"?).

There are probably other methods, but you could try going into your Control Panel, then Sounds and Audio Devices, then the Sounds tab and change that Asterisk (or whatever it turns out to be -- you can listen to the sounds on that tab) to something more to your liking, or to No Sound. (Of course, that may prevent Windows from alerting you in whatever programs or routines may use that same Asterisk sound, but it would get rid of it, anyway.)
I would say it depends on who you are working for. If they sm

expect you to put in 8 full hours, and not just stop working when your primary runs out, then you need to train on another account, and go to that when there is no work on your primary.  Of course, there is always the day when, lo and behold, there is no work at all for you on your primary. 


If they let you get away with this, then it isn't a problem.  Personally, I would train on the backup account.


Which one -- AutoCorrect or AutoText? Word version?

Does your Word version let you make Macros?

I have never been able to figure out how to do special format characters in ShortHand, but if your Word version allows you to make Macros, you can set up a Macro that will do the same thing as ShortHand.  If your transcription platform does not accept Macros, you might still be able to “trick” it by then linking your ShortHand to your Word Macro.  It works for me but every Word version and transcription platform is different, so you may have to play around a bit before you hit the right combination.  If you need specific instructions to set up the Macro let me know.  Good Luck. 


It all depends on the company you are working for. sm
If you are the only recruiter for a company, you are not competing with anyone in the same company, but you are competing with the other companies out there.  You have to know the way to sell your company hopefully that your company has something to sell, you have to have strong people skills, be able to administer whatever kind of test is appropriate, and I think it is imperative that you have experience as a medical Transcriptionist as well as a QA specialist.  I think both of those positions go along with making a strong recruiter. 
What version of Word? That can't be set in newer versions. I had to do a macro --sm
I hope this link works for you. It shows how to make the macro. I use alt + semicolon for it because it seemed those would be a convenient shortcut to use. H

Here's the link (you'll probably have to copy and paste it):

Every version of Word seems to do auto numbering differently. sm
The last two versions have a number list style that will keep numbers at the left margin and do the hanging indent automatically. Alt-Shift-left arrow will take your list back to the left margin if you don't use the style but want to use automatic numbering.
I am not the original poster, but would love to know how to do this. what version of word are you u

Word 2003 has been shown to be the glitchy version

No, the Works "Suite" has a full version of Word... sm
that is compatible. It's the plain Works version that usually comes installed on new computers that uses a different file format and is not compatible. You just have to be careful that you are buying the Suite.
It depends on whether you are working for someone as an IC or you have your own clients. I live in
Hampton Roads and was told that I would need a one if I was going to solicit my own business.  I was told by the local office where I got my license that I could not send out brochures or advertise in any way until I got it.  I do know of a local company here that requires their ICs to have one as well.  I think it is because he had a problem with an IC who did not report her income to the IRS and he was audited because of this.  I am not sure how this protects him, but he requires all of his ICs to have their own business licenses.
Will the Stedman's work with that version of Word? You buy the basic program and then
s
No. EditScript works fine with my 2003 Word version. sm
It is ExText with Word 2000 that I am worried about interfering with my EditScript from eScription.

Sorry that happened to you. I have been running Word 2003 with eScription for about 4 years now. Everything works great!
Word hasn't capped after a colon since the 2000 version.
You have to manually cap with shift key or run a macro at the end of the report. You can also hit shift+f3 to change the case to upper.
Can you install Word 2003 separately or will it overwrite any previous version you have? Thx. nm

Depends on what word program you are using
If you are using microsoft word 2003 or even 2000, I believe, then you only put in 1 space as there is a built in space in word that already shows up and if you try to put in a second space it will go in one space when you go down to the next line. Hopes this helps.
I think it depends on what year Word--sm
you have. I updated to XP and now the only way I have found to edit/change an entry is to insert in on a page, make changes, highlight and rename it. You will get a prompt stating an AutoCorrect entry already exists-do you want to redefine it--click yes.

As for the y/o I typed and saved -yo to expand to -year-old. There may be an easier way some one else may know. Hopes this helps.
I use my own word expanders. Depends on
the platform as to whether or not an Expander program is built-in or if you need to provide your own. One company I work for uses DQS & has it built-in, another uses MS Word & I use my own ShortHand program.
Depends on the versions of Word and WordPerfect. sm
Some WP versions can read Word .doc files, some don't. Some versions of WP will not accept copy/paste from Word. The advice to save the Word document as an .rtf file may be your only choice.

Is there a way to bold without using the mouse to click on bold every time? (function keys?) Thanks
If you are working in Word...

Hello 



I am not sure if you are the one who posted this on the equipment board or not, but I will repeat my reply to a similar question on that board......I use the AutoCorrect feature in Microsoft Word.  You have to build your own entries, but once you have done that, it is great.  I have a doctor who says a lot of the same phrases over and over.  For instance, he says, "Thought processes are goal directed."  I type in "tp" and it types out that entire sentence.  If you use Word as your word processor, than this feature is free!  The other way I use it, is for expanding words, such as depression...depn... I use the first 3 letters of the word and the last letter.  This usually works pretty well.  One more... preoccupied..'pred.'  If you have any further questions, please let me know.  I spent over $100 on an expander, and I like AutoCorrect better.

If you are working in Word,
the menu across the top starts with File, then Edit, then View . . . this is all without clicking on anything.
If working in MS Word, go to (sm)
Tools and scroll down to Auto Correct.  If the first option given has a check mark next to it, uncheck it.  This should correct it.  If not, please get back to me for an alternate method. Good Luck. 
You are working for less than $0.01 per word!

Even at $0.01 per word, that's low for medical transcription!


To make a comparison with line rate, open a couple of your documents up, check the character count with spaces and the word count. Do the math for both, using a low number like $0.08/line. I think you'll see that you are not being paid well and hope you will either ask for that raise or find a better paying job. With 5 years experience, you should be making at least $0.08/line.


if you are working in Word you can....
click format on the toolbar, then click chane case which will give you options. First highlight all text you want changed.
