Copying text - Help
Posted: Aug 16, 2012
I switched computers about a week ago. Since then, I have been unable to copy text within the same document on Escription. Can someone please help me with this?
Copying text - The Avon Lady
[ In Reply To ..]I had this happen to me a while back and when I emailed someone, I was kind of scolded about it. We are not supposed to have that option, BUT, if all else fails, you can highlight the word, ctrl C for copy, ctrl V for paste and ctrl X for cut within the same document. Hope this helps.
Or you can highlight text, put into autocorrect in the With box. - Put XXX in replace with box. In SM
[ In Reply To ..]document, put XXX and it should type in the text you needed to copy and move. Basically, just use the autocorrect option to move text.
Autocorrect - The Avon Lady
[ In Reply To ..]What a good idea. I use autocorrect for anything I can, don't know why I didn't think of it. :)
Help, my region canceled the ability to copy text from old - reports--risk management since
[ In Reply To ..]it CAN lead to aberrant text left in a document. No increase in line rate to compensate for how much this slows us down, of course. In all these years I've never been contacted about a problem arising from this, and I question whether the risk is big enough to justify the damage to our paychecks, but callous indifference to the needs of others is the name of the game today.
Could you do a screen shot? There has to be a way to do - it other than the usual way. nm

we aren't allowed to copy - from escription samples anymore either
[ In Reply To ..]We were also told that this is due to risk management and the errors this has caused. So when you blank something and get a QA smart remark back that that entire mumbled paragraph was found in the physician samples, you are to go back and forth and type it up, no more copying. We cannot screen shot ours, if somebody else can thats great. We were also told to make our own templates (on our own time of course) in word with these difficult speakers, but we are not allowed to have word open while editscript is open...so tell me what would be the point there? Again, working for free, don't you just love it!!
I know this is possible for everyone but I work with a laptop - and a PC. One has Ediscript open SM
[ In Reply To ..]and that is what I work out of. The other has the website open so I can search and then just type into the document what I am reading on the PC.
Is NOT possible. Geesh - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
Why cant you do the Autocorrect thing for all these problems? - SM
[ In Reply To ..]Put thos PE into autocorrect, replace with something like Dr.X PE. Seems like it should work.
Just how does it lead to aberrant text in the document? - nm
[ In Reply To ..]x
I have worked in Word based platforms before and while you did have - to pay attention and double-check SM
[ In Reply To ..]everything was as it should be, c&p was never a problem. The biggest problem I found was if I had a Word Document open and the platform hiccuped, I would lose the Word document. And I had to have the Word document open to document lines, so if I lost it, too bad, so sad. Learned real quick to save after each job.
I think MTSO just makes the no c&p a rule across the board so they dont have to worry about those for whom speed is everything, accuracy be danged. There is probably no way they can know this is going on except by catching a mistake now and then.
Copying from old document in EditScript - mt
[ In Reply To ..]In the old document, highlight text and then right click and copy. When you put cursor in document you are working on use ctrl V. This worked tonight for me.

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 ...

Text Expander And SR
Aug 03, 2011
In school, we were given the opportunity to have a 4-month trial of Shorthand for Windows.

Any inputs? I'm currently using Word's AutoCorrect as a substitute. ...
