if can't copy/paste, highlight text, ctrl/x, go to shorthand, ctrl/V

highlight the first word you want, hold the Ctrl key down, and highlight the next, etc. nm

First highlight the text too add, then hit Ctrl+insert+insert..sm

All you need to do then is assign the shortcut name and hit alt+O or click on OK.


HTH


Highlight the text and hit Ctrl-insert-insert...
then all you have to do is type in what you want to use as the shortcut.
Ctrl K is shortcut to create hyperlinks. Do you mean Shft F3?

Try ctrl+shift+left arrow to highlight the last word
then Alt + J to open AutoCorrect, type your Replace word, and tab to OK and hit the Enter key.

Make sure you don't have any extra spaces when you highlight.

Hold down Ctrl and Shift and use right arrow to highlight one word at a time. sm
You can highlight noncontiguous words by holding down on Ctrl and selecting different words.
You can also highlight the text you want
to change and hit Control K - same thing is something is already in all caps and you want to change it to either just an initial cap or to all lower case. It works like a toggle switch.
Instant Text and Stedman's are compatible. Not sure of any combo products that would work.

can't highlight text in ExText
Hi all. Today just started an acct that uses ExText/TransNet. I already have Word 2000 on my machine. (Their version of ExText says in 'about' that it is also 2000) When I get in a chart in ExText, I can't use my mouse anywhere on the document or even the vertical scroll bar to the right. I *can* use it on any of the menu items across the horizontal toolbar at the top of the document but CANNOT select bits of text to highlight and move around or copy/paste or whatever. Anyone else hear of this happening? I've seen some other posts here talking about versions of Word (2003?) being incompatible with ExText but I know someone else who is using ExText for the same account and who also already had pre-existing Word 2000 on their machine, with no problems. Is there a setting or something I need to toggle or untoggle or ......?? Any help would be very greatly appreciated, please email me. Thanks so much!

Combo of laziness AND lack of knowledge! Deadly combo!

You can highlight the entire list and use the convert text to table option in Word. You can highligh
You'll want to convert with 4 columns because you have a paragraph between each address. That paragraph will wind up in the 4th column. When you're done, you can highlight that column and delete it.
Shift end will highlight the line, but you need F8, then hit period key to highlight full sentence,
You can use F8 and hit any letter or punctuation mark you want to go to. Hit the escape key to turn off F8.

Shift and arrow keys only highlight single characters.


Ctrl + W or Ctrl + F4 prompts to save and close documents
without closing Word. Ctrl + N opens a new document.
You're hitting Alt+Ctrl+S. Hit Alt+Ctrl+C to get back.

...functions should be there. Ctrl+N to send, Ctrl + I for line

combo MT/MC classes

I am thinking of taking a Medical Transcription class.  My sister who is a Physician's Assistant tells me I should do coding instead.  Does anyone know anything about the combo classes and whether they are a good idea and if they prepare you enough?


 


Thanks


You can assign any key combo you want to the
NextField command in the customize keyboard dialog box. You don't need a macro if you are inserting blank fields with Ctrl+F9. You can also assign a shortcut to the previous field command.
Instead of Ctrl+Ctrl+Insert, try
Ctrl+Insert+Insert. See if that works. Mark the word-phrase that you want to insert first. Let me know.
zero ego, high IQ. awkward combo.

yes it is but i have tried EVERYTHING to no avail. only this combo works for me. nm

When I used this combo, we had this problem. IT had to replace Citrix with something else.
They had to do a lot of tweaking, and they were somewhat resistant. They had trouble understanding that letters need to appear immediately ... or sooner.


You can get a combo wireless AND plug in router sm
Linksys makes one and even Walmart has them. I would not go wireless for MT because it is too slow. If you have, say, a wireless laptop that you want to sit on the couch and play with or take to the bedroom or whatever, having a dual router is convenient. You still want to MT on a plug in Ethernet cord.

They are very easy to set up. Linksys has instructions and I have never had a problem. You don't really need to tell you cable company, they aren't going to know or care. Your modem has a set speed and having a router will not increase that speed. Routers make a kind of virtual partition of cable signals. If you have a 112 modem like we can get where I live, you'll find yourself very slowed down. I go up 2 notches and have a 512 speed cable modem and when my kids are here and they all plug into the router to play games over the internet, I can still MT because the signal is pretty fast (well okay until they piggyback another router and hook up 8 computers for a LAN party).
In MT ads on the net, more and more I see ads for combo positions - MT/front desk, MT/secretary, etc

Cntrl and the +/= key for Subscript and shft/cntrl and the +/= key for superscript.

Yep, I say a combo suit with the landscapers! And the baby pool owner!!

Tessier's is great! Used in combo with the Sted's Ortho and you're good! nm

Extext highlight
It sounds like you might have toggled off your select function.  Press your shift bar and then try to select with your mouse to see if that works.
In Word you can use shift - end to highlight to

You can still highlight your word and press Alt-T-A to... sm
get to the Autocorrect dialog box in 2007. Your highlighted text is already in the With box. Just type your abbreviation and tab to the OK button and hit Enter. A lot of the old shortcuts still work even though the menus are no longer on the ribbon.
I contract with several companies/doctors, and I highlight the...

discrepancy (bold it) as well as underline it.  I also add a note at the bottom like this:


NOTE:  Age discrepancy. (Or medication discrepancy, etc.).


If needed, I am more specific. 


Every account I transcribe likes this approach, and my QA people have actually adopted this technique, requiring their other MTs to do this.


I know not every account will find this acceptable, but it's been working well for me for years now. 


If you right click the folder, it should highlight it and give you
a drop down menue with the option to rename. Let me know if that helps...
If MS Word, you don't need to highlight first. Shift+F3 cycles through
change case even if you've already hit the spacebar.
Type whatever word/phrase, bold, highlight, sm--
select Autocorrect, add.
One *does* need to use the Shift key to highlight words as Shelly asked. sm
Ctrl and the right arrow key goes to the next word *without* highlighting. You might want to read Shelly's original post again.
I don't use the mouse. I use Cntl+end key to highlight a sentence.Shift and the arrow key will do
x
Shift right arrow - highlight the entire sentence and delete! Not sure there is a
ctrl key to do entire sentence, but I will look and get back to you.

Well - no. Shift arrow down will highlight my entire line and then delete.
Don't know what you are talking about - I never use F8 in Word.


Just open glo file in Word, highlight all, then change case and save back
to glo file. Use the Alt key trick to highlight just the column of words, then Shift + F3 to toggle through the change case commands. First save your glossary under a different name so you also keep the original.
f8 is called extend mode. I meant Shift right and left arrows only highlight characters. sm
You can find more help about extend mode in Word's help file.
structured text from free text...
eventually just templates filled in.  being that I am near 50, I will probably be okay, but I feel bad for all the younger MTs just now in school.  according to this article, we will all have to be willing to learn the new ways. 

no more 'blind faith'
{@KEY Ctrl+B}
nm
she did say Ctrl/S also, which...
searches for a document for a particular patient, then after looking at the document searched for, Ctrl/T would end THAT document w/o saving any changes that may have been made while viewing document...does this make sense?  Perhaps that is why she would use Ctrl/T...
Just CTRL+K sm

then it says "the next key you type" the CTRL+B, your entry, then CTRL+B to remove bolding at then end.  Why use tags?


I think it's Ctrl + J
Works for me.
Try ALT+CTRL+R or ALT+CTRL+P nm
.
Unfortunately, once CTRL CTRL
stops working for me, I'm unable to load any more shortcuts until I go out of the program and go back in. Weird.

At MQ with DQS, you can Ctrl X, but I don't know
nm
Ctrl-S
brings up a screen, and you fill in the field or fields you want to be searched. For instance, if I want to search for reports done by Dr. Smith, I put smith into provider last name and click find(?). Then a list of reports by Dr. Smith will display, and you can choose one to look at. It opens this document up in a separate Extext document than the one you are working on. Then you can copy and paste what you need into document you are working on or just read through it, etc.

You have to remember to close the search document before you close current Extext document because it messes something up which I can't remember right now!
ctrl x
never worked for me. I highlight text, right click, choose cut and then paste where I want it.
