Can any of you smart MTs help me .... - with something.....
Posted: Feb 19, 2015
By sharing how to make a macro in Word 2010 for the following 2 things: I work in eScription.
Remove a period and space and uncap the next word
and
Add a period and 2 spaces and cap the next word
Is this even possible to do?
This would be so much help on my poor old wrists with the 100% VR (I'm actually almost happy for the low work volume lately...they hurt so bad). I researched high and low but could not find an understandable, easy way to make a macro to do this. The last program I worked in for another company--the software made this change automatically - if you removed a period, it uncapped the next word. If you added a period, it double spaced and capped the next word. I miss that so much. I would be so very grateful.... :)
Signed, OH my aching wrists.

[ In Reply To ..]To add a period and cap the next word in eScription is ALT + . (period key), but I can't remember at the this moment what the reverse of that is right now. I thought it was ALT + SHIFT + . (period key), but I'm not sure on that one.
I am not sure if you have facebook but - memls
[ In Reply To ..]there is an FB page for MT Editing Tips and Tricks that can answer a lot of questions for you =)
The other poster is right, Alt + period does one of the things you asked. - current ES user
[ In Reply To ..]I made my own macro to change period to comma and uncap next word. I'd love to know what platform you used that uncapped like that.
If you e-mail me via this board's system, I'll try to help you with making your own macro to do that, if you'd like. It's really just a matter of recording it like you would any macro in Word, though. Just set up 2 sentences that are incorrect, and record Macro by backspacing over to delete period, add comma or not, space, then cap next word with Shift + F3. (I named mine Ctrl + J, easy to access, imo.)
Can't help with the macros, but the wrists--- - mine got cured with
[ In Reply To ..]Cosamin DS by NeutraMax. Look for it at Walgreen's on a buy one get one free or buy it on EBAY. Usually free shipping.
It really, really did work. Helped lots of aches and pains. Originally took it for my neck post car accident, but interestingly, my wrists quit hurting also! Back then I was typing like a fiend, 60 hours a week and making $75,000 a year. Hah, those were the days...long ago.
I apologize if you didn't want help with your wrists....smile implied.

Not To Smart With Computers
Jan 08, 2011
Hi all, I purchased a new computer over Christmas with a very large screen due to having poor eyesight. Everything seems fine until I get into ChartScript, where everything is so very, very small. It is worse than with my smaller screen. I have to literally stand up and put my nose to the screen to make sure I have correct patient info in the demographics, etc. Any suggestions? Is there something on the screen itself I can adjust, or do you think it is within ChartS ...

Back in the mid and late 80s, I was VERY proud to be an MT! MTs were savvy and SMART. In fact, they were SO smart -- or at least knowledgable and proficient -- that docs RELIED ON THEM to repair poorly dictated or hastily dictated transcription. My friend/former boss is a rheumatologist who constantly used to say, "I KNOW you're a deep thinker, so WHY are you a medical transcriptionist?" Until recently, I didn't really understand why he aske ...
Low Work, UE, TSM Is Not Smart
Apr 04, 2013
So far this week I have had 2 hours on Monday, 0 on Tuesday, 0 Wednesday and 30 minutes today. Last week I only got 8 hours. Emailed TSM about changing books of business and she said no one is looking for first shift, although I doubt she even asked since she emailed me back almost immediately (which never ever happens). Also, there are some MTs on here who say they have plenty of work, so why won't she send me there? Asked me to switched to late 2nd shift. However, there is still ...

I downloaded the trial version of Smart Type and have been trying to use it for the last two days. I think it might work for me but I have a lot of word expanders in Word 2010 that would take me forever to duplicate in Smart Type. Is there any easier way? And how long does it normally take to become proficient in using this program. Right now it is slowing me WAY down! Thanks for any help you can give me. ...

wondering about how stable stedman's smarttype is for everyone else. I have used the program for years, but noticed recently odd things happening.

Call the programmers consortium who made the program originally, but no one knows anything. Could use some light shed on the subject. ...

Smartype Smart Blocks & EXText
Jan 04, 2010
I work in Dictaphone /EXText. I am dependent on my Stedman's Smartype for 100s of 1000s of terms with which I am not familiar, and to which I have total access while in EXText. However, I am not able to pull Smartype Smart Blocks (which I have created while in Word but not in EXText) into a current document. In the past, I got around this problem at work by creating "instant macros," going into ctrl-s, cutting, pasting into current document and using as a g ...
