InstantText help -sm - anon

Posted: Apr 10, 2014

Hi, I just got a free trial of Instant Text. I used to use Smartype, so I have it set up close to that. However, I have some expanders that are supposed to include my field markers, which are denoted as { } and IT is not including these. I really need them in some of my entries. Is there anyone here who may be able to help me with this?

Thanks.

I'm familiar with ExText and was quite fast. I'm now working for a company with an M*Modal based speech editor. It seems that to move the cursor, you have to take your hands off the home keys and move them to the Ctrl and arrow keys, and then back to the home keys to type/correct. This makes no sense to me; is this correct? With ExTExt, for example, Alt U and Y moves the cursor and it had "magic' period, hyphen, comma keys, etc. I've programmed shortc ...
