Shorthand dictionary question - I-type


Posted: Feb 11, 2013

I have several Shorthand dictionaries and am loading a new PC.  How do I prioritize one of the dictionaries? More than 1 has the same short cut phrase.  Thanks! 

how to set up Shorthand - research

[ In Reply To ..]
Open Shorthand and click on File. Then chose "open" and chose the one you want as the main file.

Next with the window open, chose "Shortcuts" and chose the "edit" tab. Link each of the secondary files you want to link to the main dictionary.

You're done!

I'm returning to MT after several years away and working as an IC.

Here's Another Shorthand Tip...
Oct 17, 2009

Someone recently had an issue with Shorthand and Autocorrect both operating at the same time, and they were apparently fighting with each other, because both of them had some of the same expansions/corrections, so the user was getting duplicate text. I finally worked out a system for myself where Shorthand is used for actual expansions, shortcuts, etc. Autocorrect is restricted to correcting misspelled and mis-capitalized words.If I have done it correctly, never the twain should meet, and I can ...
