Need SHORTHAND help ASAP!! Pretty please! - PA MT


Posted: Oct 16, 2009

When using Shorthand, I type a word and then if I have to put a comma after the expanded work the word comes up again.

Example: I type my abbreviation for "however" and put a comma after it and it looks like this:  "howeveowever,"

This happens with every word that gets expanded and then I type a comma after.

What's up with that and can anybody help?  I can't seem to find anything in the Shorthand Guidebook.

What program are you typing in? When this was happening to me it was because I had two expansion programs turned on at the same time and the shortcut was in both programs. If you are in word, you are going to have to turn off the autocorrect feature and if you are in a company's program, you have to turn off their expansion program.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much...I never even gave it two thoughts to turn off AutoCorrect in Word.

Try Ctrl W. That turns it off for me. Need to do it only at the - Flora

start of the program. Hope this helps.

Be careful...Ctrl+W closes the Word file if not working in a platform. - NM

A local real estate company in my area offers a document shredding day every 6 months or so. I have a ton of old papers that need to be shreaded so I was going through some of them tonight and I came across a bid given to my boss when I worked in the Radiology Dept. in a large HMO back in 1986. It was a bid from a transcription service trying to get the contract for the outpatient Radiology. My boss gave it to me as I was the Sr. Transcriptionist; we were union and no way was ...

Can someone tell me how to play this thing?  I've been an MT for 27 years, but never have dealt with DSS files.  I wrote back and asked t ...
