on the toolbar, next to the Bold button

Posted By: Rebecca S. on 2007-09-15
In Reply to: Great, now just tell me - What is happening here?

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.

I would, but I cannot get a Toolbar
of any kind to come up. Just the horizontal and vertical rulers.
Thanks for the suggestion, tho!!
toolbar
In the right hand corner, there is an icon called *tools*. Click on that and a drop down box will open with *toolbars* in it. I have not tried it myself, but there should be something in there to get what you are looking for. Also the *customize* button. Good luck. hope it works for you!.
toolbar
just figured it out! yeah!!
Toolbar
Go into view, toolbar and see which ones are highlighted and then you can hit which ones you want.  I use standard and formatting for mine.  that does give two lines but it is what I use.    Hope that this helps. 
Once I get top toolbar set up how I want it,

if I may be so bold
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.


if I may be so bold

  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.

I don't think it allows for much other than characters. I could be wrong though.
Just look at your toolbar..it has left, right, and

Do you have a customized toolbar?

Is this a situation where you can set one up? If so, go to View, Toolbars, then to the Toolbars tab and click "new." Name it whatever you want (I just use my first name) and then click the Commands tab and drag the icons you choose over to your new toolbar.


The reason I am saying all this is that I have a Bullets and Numbering icon on my toolbar, so whenever the numbering starts messing up, I can highlight the area where I want the numbering to be, click on the Bullets and Numbering icon, and fix it - quick and easy.


Plus I can put only the icons I use most on the toolbar and not have all those I don't want. Speeds things up a lot when I don't have to sort through a bunch of icons to find what I want.


Toolbar in what program?

You set up that on your toolbar using Word? (m)
Any chance you could tell me how? I'm not that savvy, lol. I appreciate the help!
Floating Toolbar
I had to try around with a few different things but I think I went to Microsoft Office Word Help and followed the directions for "create a custom toolbar"
On the toolbar there is this rectangle with
the percentage mark. Make sure that it is set on 100%. This determines the size of the text.
Tell me if it worked, thanks.
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?
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. 


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?


 


 


I used to have a free little toolbar that I downloaded and

there was also a website where you could sort the feedback of ebay users.  I deleted it because I'm just not into ebay as much as I used to be.  However, if you check Google or Download.com, you ought to be able to find something.  GutCheck is one of them, but I've never used it.


I typed the following into Google to find GutCheck.


ebay sort negative feedback


And "ebay feedback" without quotes at download.com to find BayCheck.


HELP. My husband screwed up my toolbar
how do i get it back down where it used to be?  The start menu, etc.
Look at View/Toolbar -- and over to the side of that is a SM
dropdown menu that should have some things checked on it. If you can't see "view" then do alt+v and see if that works.
I have a technical question. On my toolbar when
I click on any of the categories (File, Edit, View, Tools or Help), instead of getting my dropdown menu I get a trasparent square.  If I drage my mouse down, then the titles appear but you can see the screen under them.  The same thing happens on Outlook Express.  (I have Windows XP).  The only one that shows the regular dropdown menus is Favorites.  This just started today.  Has anyone had a similar thing happen or know what to do about it?  Thanks.
Pull Down "View" on Toolbar.
Then hit Zoom.

Line count is not on my toolbar.
I stand corrected. I had no idea it was on the Tools menu; I have always used a separate line counting program OR the Properties under the File menu. Also, my Tools menu is condensed most of the time and I had not noticed Word Count on there before. "Look before you leap."
MS word toolbar question - sm

Somehow I lost the print and print preview options on my toolbar and I do not know how to get them back.

Another Shorthand Question. How to Bold
I know this has been on the boards before, but would appreciate instructions on how to bold with Shorthand.  TIA very much.
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 and/or underline a word in....
Step by step directions would be so greatly appreciated!  TIA
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.

Lost toolbar on Internet Explorer
Can anyone tell me how to restore the tool bar with the buttons such as home page, refresh, go back arrow, forward arrow?  I know that there are other buttons on there but those are the few that I use most often and can remember.  My guess is that something has been inadvertantly turned "off" but I don't know where to look for it.
