Need Dictaphone macros - Need help


Posted: Feb 12, 2015

I'm a former employee, now working as an IC, and had been so used to all the macros that were built into Microsoft Word when they installed Dictatphone/ExEditor.  Unfortunately, you can only access those while ExEditor is open, and I forgot to copy them out of there so I could use them later.

Any chance I could get someone on here that is still working on ExEditor to copy their macros and paste them here?  Essentially you'd just need to be in ExEditor with Word open... then go to the Tools menu at the top, then down to Macro, then click Macros.  When the box opens, click on any of the ones that show up there and click Edit. 

This should open a "Visual Basic" window that looks kinda funny.  In the right should be a large-ish window with a bunch of text that is multicolored.  It usually starts with "Sub MacroName ()" or something similar.  

Go to the Edit menu at the top of the Visual Basic window and do Select All, the copy and paste the text in a new comment here, or you can e-mail me if you feel comfortable doing so. 

This would be a huge help as you don't know how often I lock myself out of the system I'm in cause I'm trying to move forward in text by pressing CTRL+L!  LOL! 

Thanks!

Are You Paid For Expanded Macros?
Nov 10, 2010

I just recently started on a new account where there are lots of macros we have to spend time choosing and selecting carefully.  I'm not sure if I'm even getting paid for the fully expanded macros or just wasting time while the doc mumbles and fumbles about which macros to choose and all for free.  I have an E-mail in to the supervisor, but the more advanced technology gets in this field, the more it seems we work for free.  I'm venturing that we do not get paid fo ...

Do We Have Any Experts On Setting Macros In Word? Sm
Nov 13, 2010

My account has capped and bolded headings.  For some reason, VR NEVER bolds.  I guess it isn't capable of doing so!  Is there any way to set up a macro to bold like maybe all headings or bold words in caps or anything like that? Even bold from the : to the beginning of the line maybe? I can't seem to figure out how to set this up.  There used to be a webpage for help with macros and shortcuts but I don't recall what it was.  Does anyone know what I am tal ...

I usually work with mp3s, and now this Dictaphone is driving me crazy.  I have no manual.
