Bold and underline in word. I am looking
at my screen now and at the top of tool bar, right side, there should be a B I and U. Just click on the B for bold and the U for underline and that should do it.
If you have a mouse, hold it over these letters and it will tell you what they are.

How do you bold in shorthand?

shorthand bold
name it bo or bd, do this entry: ctrl/k, ctrl B, OK, will look {@KEY Ctrl+B)
shorthand bold
CTRL B then CTRL K type word, CTRL B again to undo. I think, search on this site.
Bold in Shorthand
I am running older version of shorthand. In the "text to type" box I have to type exactly as follows before and after each word(s) I want bolded (see example below)
{@key ctrl+b}PHYSICAL EXAM:{@key ctrl+b}
There is a space between key and ctrl. Whatever you type in between each "command box" will be bolded (you can do same for italics (ctrl +I), etc. I found this in help section within the program. Hope this helps.

You work for? Do you do VR also? I've been with Medquist for a long time, work about the same amount of hours you do, and I'm sure not making what you are. I'm doing almost 100% VR now, which I like, actually, but MQ just cut what they pay for that by another 10%...

It's not a secret that membership has dropped after a small increase in past years; however, one factor in the number of dollars decreasing is the fact that the membership fee dropped in 2004.
Some of us do believe that AAMT is a worthwhile organization. Some do not, and that's fine--we all can have our opinions. I just hate to see so much negative posted on these boards--I think it sends a terribly depressing message to those who are newbies just getting into this business. JMHO.
Hi, SR. Wanted to underline what Doing VR says. SM
All of it.
Plus, very important--identify the editing changes you make repeatedly throughout a report and record macros to perform each of them with only two or three Keystrokes (one or two "name" keystrokes, plus the activating one like hitting the space bar). As short as possible.
For instance, to correct "The patient will need cardiac catheterization. 4. Evaluation of..." I type 4q, which deletes ". 4. E" and inserts " for e". Q just happens to be a key I assigned to special "goof-correction" macros.
You don't say what Expander you use, but any good one will have a record function so you can just turn it on and record your normal keystrokes for create the macros.
Also, I rededicated most of my shortest abbreviations (which had been used solely for words) to those editing corrections that occur dozens and dozens of times through a day.
For instance:
"U" is my abbreviation for "her"
For an existing sentence, "ku" inserts "Her" at the beginning of a sentence and lowercases the next word.
To break up a run-on mishmash, ".u" puts a period after the previous word and starts a new sentence with "Her".
And so on and on with macros to speed through numbering lists, copy a preop diagnosis as a postop one, etc, etc, etc. It takes a while to develop a good macro base, BUT, in addition to saving your sanity, you're also raising the level of skills you offer the market which allows you to knock out many more reports than others who haven't.
Totally up to your client as to a plain underline, a bracketed space, blank w/the time on the

The BOS is a general guide. No more and no less. It is not the Holy Grail. It is not the Constitution of the US. It is not Clark Gable's footprint.
I went to the AMA web site and did a Search for the term you mention. They show "plantar flexion" (two words).
So let it be written.
So let it be done.

 The AAMT is not the Holy Grail.
bold
Yes, bold the colon.
There is another way to bold in SH. I use it
to bold my headings that I need bolded. Insert {@key ctrl+B} I type this before and after my macro to turn off the bold after the macro is typed. Type it exactly as is or just copy and paste to a macro and test it out.
my macro for the heading PAST MEDICAL HISTORY: spelled out in bold is pmh;
On the keyword line type --- pmh;
On the "text to type line" type --- {@key ctrl+B}PAST MEDICAL HISTORY:{@key ctrl+B} ...
To save time adding these to all your headings that need to be bolded, just copy and paste {@key ctrl+B} before and after everything that needs to be bolded. This saves me a ton of time. Someone at work gave me this code and I've been using it for years now.
RE: Bold
I use SFT-F1. Don't recall if that is with my ShortHand program or what.
SH Bold
After you create your bolded, entry, it will look this in the "text to type" box: {@KEY Ctrl+B}PMH{@KEY ctrl+B}
When you create it, Name your Keyword, then go to the Text to Type Box.
1. Click on "tags".
2. Click on "Ctrl - K" on the pulldown menu that pops up.
3. Hit the keys "Control" and "B."
4. Type in your heading.
5. Repeat Step 3.
6. Hit OK to save your new keyword.
To bold
Type this in ShortHand {@key ctrl+B} then whatever you want bolded, i.e. CHEST, and then {@key ctrl+B} again.
So it would look like this in your Shorthand {@key ctrl+B}CHEST{@key ctrl+B}
Hope this helps.
Bold
I don't think it allows for much other than characters. I could be wrong though.
SpeedType and Shorthand are the exact same program. Shorthand is lots cheaper and also has a trial.
.
SH bold formatting and others
In the "Dictionary Text [Add]" dialog box, as you
are entering in the "Text to Type", when you need
to add special formatting, you simply tap Ctrl-K, and
add the keystroke commands applicable to your
word processor to change to the desired font.
For example, Microsoft Word uses Ctrl+B to
enable/disable bold face. So to simulate bold text
with ShortHand in Microsoft Word, you simply need
to simulate the Ctrl+B keystroke. When you are done
your word(s) that are bolded will look like this:
{@KEY--Ctrl+B}your text{@KEY--Ctrl+B}.
When you actually type the key (as you transcribe)
Shorthand will automatically/instantly enter all the
special function keys that you have entered, and
your text will come out formatted.
You can use the same concept to add any formatting codes to your Shorthand text, including underlining, italicizing, changing font styles and/or font sizes. You can also add tabs, change margins, etc.
Try thi out and if you have any problems with this, post another message.
Is it possible to Bold and/or italicize
words in the glossary?
I tried Control B and typed IMPRESSION: in glossary Editor window but when <<IMPRESSION>> came up on Meditech screen, it was not blue as words are when bold in Meditech.
Thank you.
To "Just Me" re SH bold...
the string of characters you describe is what Ctl-K does. Discussed below this post. I tried typing those codes and it didnt work at all, just made a big mess. What version are you using?
Autotext gone Bold?
Why are my autotext entries turning bold when I go to use them? I am starting to get annoyed here...I constantly have to change the autotext entry back to regular. I know I did not enter it in as bold. What is going on here?
{@KEY BkSp}-pack-per-year is for Shorthand. Using the semicolon works with both Shorthand and
;yo = -year-old
;py= -pack-year
etc...
Shorthand and SpeedType are exact same program. Shorthand will cost you lots less.
you can import your autocorrect into Shorthand.
I had one account that we had to cap and bold allergies.
Actually you can use bold and other attributes in Autocorrect
Just highlight the text and click on "formatted text" when you are entering it into Autocorrect.
You have to create it with the bold command
s
on the toolbar, next to the Bold button
There should be a little box with a number in it and a little black arrow. If you click on the arrow, it will bring up a bunch of font sizes. I would pick 12 as it is a standard size for printing. Hope that helps.
can you put bold characters in autocorrect?

I took shorthand too. But it sure comes in helpful for my expanders. I view words in shorthand for
i did use shorthand once in a job but i was so nervous the "boss" took pity and dictated the report on dictaphone.
If it is Shorthand, save the SPF file to a disk, then if you buy Shorthand yourself....
you can just drop the SPF file into it. That is not dishonest since you are the one who put the macros in. I am sure is it is another Expander there is a way to save the macro file and then drop it in the expander you buy on your own.
Maxwell House BOLD and I drink it black. Whenever I go sm

Type whatever word/phrase, bold, highlight, sm--
