If I remember correctly, I think you press the Control key & then your abbreviation.

If I am reading the question correctly, you do not want it to expand?? Such as nor and it keeps trying to put normal if that is your expansion code? Hit the excape key. That will not let your words expand. I may have misunderstood your question and answered incorrectly, if so, apologize in advance.

Warning: Don't Expand BPH In The Diagnosis/impression, Leave As Is. Mar 21, 2013I got a style error minor deduction for this, because it could also refer to "benign prostatic hyperplasia."

Here's Another Shorthand Tip... Oct 17, 2009Someone 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 ...
Shorthand V10 Help Jun 16, 2011I've been using Shorthand all along on my work computer and love it, particularly the fact that it works anywhere - email, Word, platforms, etc.

ShortHand - What's So Different About It? Feb 11, 2012Ok, I downloaded Short Hand expander program but, for the life of me, it looks just like the standard auto expander/auto correct that comes with word. I've looked over the very brief tutorial that came with it and I don't see where this will increase my productivity anymore than my current Word-based AC/AE work for me.

Shorthand 10 Help Nov 17, 2014Since I'm unable to use MS auto correct with my current platform I explored Shorthand, a program I used years ago. They've gotten too smart for me. All I want to do is add words on the fly. The screen I get when invoking SH10 shows no way to save any entry I might make. Surely I'm missing something here. If anyone can point the way I'd appreciate it--enter text, save and move on. Thanks. ...
Anyone Use And Like Shorthand? Dec 03, 2014Does it work interactively in MS Word? Can you easily transfer your entries from Autocorrect to Shorthand?

Can Anyone Tell Me How To Convert Shorthand 10 Nov 25, 2009I'm getting a company computer and will be working on that one and mine. They don't allow Shorthand (or any other program) to be put on their computer, so need to convert my Shorthand to Word autocorrect entries for the work computer. I would do it manually (you know, one entry at a time) but I have about 4500 entries and need an automated way.
Thanks in advance ...
Need Shorthand 10 Help With Font . . . . Feb 19, 2010Don't know why this is not working . . . I need to get the "Suggestion Window Font" to a bigger size. I have changed the font to say Times New Roman 14 and it shows that it changed it in the "Suggestion Window Font" but when I go into my report and run a shorthand word it stays small, never changed. I got everything else to a bigger font except for this. I hit "okay" after I changed it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks!
