Instant Text - auto spacing quit working - SM


Posted: Dec 22, 2014

I've tried shutting down.  It works here,  but not with Word.  Can anyone help?  Of course,  I need to actually do typing today when I normally just QA....

Thanks.  

This always works for me but there are many - different configurations

I go to:
Start button
Programs
Textware
click on Activate Instant Text.


Occasionally mine just quits working.

Shoot. It didn't work. Auto spacing works here - SM

It must be something wrong with Word... Thanks anyway though.

Did you try... - SmileyChica

Unlinking with the particular program you are working on and then relinking? That works for me too. Or putting a different number in your autospacing, using that for a few strokes, and then changing back to what you want?

Good luck!
I decided to do a system restore and that worked. Thanks for - SM

The suggestions. Have a good day!

Always check the S button - MMK

above the active glossary list. If it is red, you may have accidentally toggled off automatic spacing with Ctrl+0.

Word 2010 Auto Text
May 28, 2011

I had entered MANY auto text entries a couple months ago and now they are all gone.  Is there a way to search for them or recover them?  This is a laptap that is new to me, as is word 2010, but I did manage to figure out how to enter all these auto texts, and now they're just gone.  I know that they did save initially because I used them, but now haven't been on the laptop for quite some time and they are all gone.  Any ideas what happened? ...

Oct 08, 2010

I will start working from home as an MT next week, however have discovered that the software (Microsoft Office 7, Professional Version) required by the company is quite different from 2003 version.  I have used autotext for years when transcribing by simply highlighting and saving to keyboard strokes easy to remember, but the 07 version has several other names for autotext like building blocks, etc, and will only allow 255 characters.  I have tried setting up a macro, as well with diff ...

Instant Text And VR
Sep 18, 2010

Just wondered about what you all think is the best expander to use with VR. I used to use Shorthand up to a couple of years ago and now work with Instant Text. It seems to me that Shorthand is very very popular with the VR crowd. Does anyone use Instant Text successfully with VR? The version of IT I have (V  Pro) does not have the recording functions and the ability to use shortcuts (like Alt+ and Control+) like Shorthand does. Nor is there there an ability to record commands or key combina ...
