Shorthand expander - can't figure out how to do a count, or calculation - newbie


Posted: Aug 25, 2012

I'm still in school, working on adding to my Shorthand file. I hear people talk about how many entries they have in theirs, but I can't figure out how to do a count, or calculation. Can anyone tell me how this is done? Thanks...

Shorthand - yep....

Click on the "dictionary" tab and go to the very bottom where it says "info." Click on that and it will show how many entries you have.

Thanks a whole lot! I was disappointed to find I only have 404 entries. As much as I've worked on adding to it, I thought there would be more - but there WILL be! :)

ShortHand Expander - Extra Tips Or Tricks ?
May 12, 2013

Well, after a less-than-stellar trial of IT and a bit of a disappointing trial of SmarType, I think I finally found one that works well for me in PC Shorthand.  Really easy to make additions, not too obnoxious or distracting on the screen, and, after playing with the settings, no lag in expanding.   Does anyone who uses Shorthand have any extra tips or tricks to increase its capabilities aside from what is listed in their instruction manual?  So far it's meeting my needs quite nicely ...
