Please help! Trying to put macros/expanders in Word 2003

I know this is probably pretty basic for most people but I just started using MS Word for one of my new MT jobs and there are a lot of repetitive phrases, salutations etc and I want to create my own macros and Autotext but can't seem to find some definitive answers on the internet. I have been working for over 20 years for a hospital who provided all the up to date auto text and macros so I didn't have to create them so now I'm lost. Thanks for any help or advice. ...

I've always worked from home and used Word Perfect. Now I'm back in the office - one of offices I've contracted with for years, but they have Word. It's taking me forever, and I can't figure out how to build macros in Word like I had in Word Perfect. Help??? ...

My account has capped and bolded headings. For some reason, VR NEVER bolds. I guess it isn't capable of doing so! Is there any way to set up a macro to bold like maybe all headings or bold words in caps or anything like that? Even bold from the : to the beginning of the line maybe? I can't seem to figure out how to set this up. There used to be a webpage for help with macros and shortcuts but I don't recall what it was. Does anyone know what I am tal ...

I'm using Express Editor and I don't like the ESP that comes with it as it limits what you can do, and my expander in Microsoft Word will not work with this program. Anyone using the same platform have any good programs that will work? TIA. ...

Do they provide a word expander for you or are you required to purchase your own? Some companies act like it is a luxury item rather than a necessity anymore. TIA ...

Is it possible to get a word expander (Shorthand, etc) on disc instead of just download? I don't have much faith in the security of downloading what is basically already a key-logger from a website that seems a little shady. Thanks! ...

I will be changing from Word 2000 to Word 2003 and have a few questions. I am not that great at figuring tech stuff out so hopefully someone will be able to help me. Will changing from 2000 to 2003 affect anything on my computer at all, i.e., will all my other software work okay. I rely on my PC Shorthand expander and my electronic Stedman's books, plus how about my Stedman's medical spellchecker, will they all work the same or do I need to do anything to make sure th ...

So clearly..this is now part of ADT info and we are no longer paid for those keystrokes. plus..I guess I will throw in my 2 cents re: physician look-up. I cannot believe they did this. And who ever does not notice the change or recognize the detriment in providing good info in the report, clearly did not use the previous physician look-up to its advantage. How in the world not having the entire name populate or as you type in the name, have the docs pop up is beyond me.&n ...

Hi - our hospital is going from Chartscript to Medquist DocQscribe. Was wondering what is the best word expander program to use with DocQscribe, i.e. Instant Text, Shorthand, or SpeedType?

I am finally getting smart (after 26 years!!!) and looking into getting transcription expanders (but don't have much money) and have no idea what is best all the way around (user friendly, cost, easy to learn as you go, etc.). Any ideas? Thanks :) ...

I am getting a new computer with Windows 7 and would like to know what word expander programs a person would find simple, minimal learning curve, pros and cons and what is out there. I have always used autocorrect, but feel with a MT expander would increase my production better. Any advice, what to stay away from and what do you like about it or not? ...

I am having a brain malfunction. I cannot remember how to make the expansions type. For example, tp for the patient, it will not type out the patient. What is the control for this? Thanks. ...

Have a new computer with windows 7. Haven't set it up yet. Can I install word 2003 and also whatever the latest word is (2007?). Should one be installed before the other? My computer tech retired and haven't found a new one yet. Thanks for any info. ...

My Word has begun to take forever to open and also to save reports. I am thinking perhaps the program has been corrputed and think perhaps I need to over-load the program again. Will this delete my spell-check dictionary and autocorrect entries? I have been trying to figure out how to back them up just in case, but have been unlucky in this regard. The Microsoft site gives instructions to back up autocorrect, but the files in program files are not there as they state th ...

Hello, I have been fortunate enough to be offered a new MT position with an MTSO that needs me to have MS Word 2003 available. I have the trials of Word 07 and Word 10 right now, but neither of these are compatible with this new MTSO's software. It needs to be Word 2003. I'm having a hard time finding Word 03 anywhere on the web. But I am sure it is legitimately accessible somewhere, at least for a 30- or 60-day trial. Could anyone recommend a way I could acqu ...

Does anyone know if there is a fix for Word 2003 to correct the compatibility issue with Smartype? If I highlight a word and then type without deleting the text, Word will lock up. Sometimes if I type over highlighted text without pressing delete, I get three duplicate letters in a row, and then the cursor scrolls to the bottom of the screen and Word crashes. It is a real pain to have to hit delete all the time, and if anyone knows of a way to fix this, I'd appr ...

(I'm ready to throw both computers out the door.) Anyone ever have any trouble with Word not responding? I tried to caplitalize the word INC. and when I put the period at the end of Inc., it stops responding, I have to end the program and get back in. Sometimes it saves the document, sometimes it doesn't. I also wanted to make a change in a short in AutoCorrect and noted that some of the replacement words have an '*' after them. If I click on any of those words, Word will n ...

Are most MT employers using Using Word 2007 or Word 2003? Word 2010 is out in June. Would the MT industry upgrade quickly to Word 2010 or does it usually take a few years? ...

I am breaking in a new keyboard and evidently hit a key or combination of keys, and now whatever I type is in red and underlined. Can't change it by clicking on Undo in the Edit screen. When I hit backspace, it put in a red line clear across the screen to the right margin with a circle that said Deleted and a paragraph sign. I've seen it before on something I got back from QA once, but I've never used it nor do I know how to activate it. How do I get back to just ...

Help me if you can! Thanks in advance. ...

The screentip that comes up when typing the first letters of an AutoText entry has stopped working - and since there is no screentip, the option to insert an AutoText entry into the document by hitting "Enter" is not available either. I can go into AutoText and "Insert" it that way, and hitting F3 inserts the entry into the document from the screen, and all my entries are in there - it is just screentip and Enter that "broke." This happened from one document to the next. I ...

I hope someone can help me. I use Word 2003 and have most of my shortcuts in Autotext. All of a sudden, my autotext stopped working. I can't seem to access any of my shortcuts. Any input would really be appreciated. Thanks !! ...
